Answer:

10 2/3 containers BUT can only fully fill 10 containers

Explanation:

to solve this equation you need to divide 8 by 3/4

8 / 3/4

that is

8/1 / 3/4

when dividing fractions you must flip the second number and multiply both numbers together

8/1 * 4/3

32/3 is your answer

or

10 2/3

she can fully fill 10 containers
