Answer:

4 5/6 quarts or 4.83 quarts

Explanation:

5 1/2 quart pot has an equal value to 11/2 quart pot

it is filled with 2/3 quarts of water

Therefore, the quarts of water the pot can hold is;

11/2 - 2/3

LCM = 6

11/2 - 2/3 ÷ 6

33 - 4 ÷ 6

29/6

:. 29/6 quarts(4 5/6 quarts or 4.83 quarts) of water is the amount needed to fill the 5 1/2 quart pot
