Verified Answer :

you want divide the totals amount of lemonade among pitchers that only hold 4/7 of the lemonade. if the container held 1 qt, you would divide the total by 1

calculista

we know that

Anna made \(400\) quarts of lemonade

She poured the lemonade into containers

Each container holds \(4/7\) of a quart

so

by proportion

Find the the number of containers that were used

\(\frac{1}{(4/7)}\frac{container}{quarts}=\frac{x}{400}\frac{container}{quarts} \\ \\x*(4/7)=400\\ \\x=400/(4/7)\\ \\x=700\ containers\)

therefore

the answer is

\(700\ containers\)
