Question

A teapot is

13 full of tea. When all of the tea is poured into an empty container, the container is 23 full. What fraction of the tea from a full cup is needed to fill 1 entire container?

Answer 1

If you mean 1/3 and 2/3; The answer is (1/2) teacup = 1 full container.

Explanation:

(1/3)t = (2/3)c, the t for teapot and c for the container.

Multiply both sides by (3/2) in order to get 1 on the right-hand side.

(3/2)(1/3)t = (3/2)(2/3)C

(1/2) teacup = 1 full container.
