Respuesta :

The pot can hold 1/3 more "of the way." Then 1/3 of 5 1/2 quarts is:

(1/3)(11/2) = 11/6 quarts. The pot can hold 11/6 quarts total.

Answer:

Water required to fill pot [tex]=\frac{11}{6}\texttt{ quarts}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of pot = [tex]5\frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{2}[/tex] quart

Fraction of pot filled with water = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Fraction of pot empty = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

How many more quarts of water can the pot hold is given below

         Amount of quarts [tex]=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{11}{2}=\frac{11}{6}\texttt{ quarts}[/tex]

    Water required to fill pot [tex]=\frac{11}{6}\texttt{ quarts}[/tex]
