An art teacher had 2/3 gallon of paint to pour into containers. If he poured 1/8 gallon of paint into each container until he ran out of paint, how many containers had paint in them, including the one that was partially filled?

Ok 2/3 / 1/8 = 2/3 *8 = 16/3. 16/3 is 5.33 which is 5 and a third of a container which is counted in this so 6 is the answer
