To find the number of containers that can be filled with a 9-pound bag of sugar, we need to divide the total weight of the sugar by the weight of each container. Therefore, we have:
9 ÷ 34 = 0.26
Therefore, a 9-pound bag of sugar will fill approximately 0.26 or 1/4 of a container. Since you cannot have a fraction of a container, the answer is 0 containers of sugar.

Answer:36

Step-by-step explanation: 3/4, but take away the denominator. now we have 3. what's a multiple of 3 and 9? 36.

now divide 36 by the denominator, that's 9. so that's the answer. (i think)
