To solve this, you need to use cross multiplication. The first fraction, is 3/4 and the second is 6/x, with x meaning how much the container can hold. Multiply 3x(x) and 4x6 equating to 3x=24. From here, use algebra to solve for x, by dividing both sides by three.
Your final answer will be B) 8 qts
