Answer 2

Answer: This would fill 4 and 4/9 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of walnuts in a container is given by

`6(2)/(3)=(20)/(3)\ pounds`

Quantity of walnuts which divided equally into containers is given by

`1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)\ pounds`

Now, number of containers they would fill is given by

`((20)/(3))/((3)/(2))=(20* 2)/(3* 3)=(40)/(9)`

When we change it into mixed fractions we get,

`(40)/(9)=4(4)/(9)`

So, blank will be filled with '4'.
