You fill a container 3/4 full of water. The amount of water now in the container is 6 quarts. How much can the container hold?

a. 12 qt

b. 8 qt

c. 6 qt

d. 14 qt

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
