Meg wanted to split up her left over food into containers. She had 6 plates of food and wanted to split it into containers that held about 1 a plate each. How many containers did she need?

she needs 6 containers

6 containers

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless there's more to the question, it's 6.

If you have 6 plates, and each container fits 1 plate, you'd need 6 containers to hold all the food

If Kalon can complete the job in 4 hours, he has completed 1 5/7 over 4 of the job if he works together with Marna. Letting x be the number of hours it will take Marna to work alone, she has completed 1 5/7 over x of the job. The amounts of job they have done should be equal to 1.
                             (1 5/7 / 4) + ( 1 5/7  / x ) = 1
The value of x is 3. So, Marna can clean the chimney in 3 hours.
