Answer:

2 1/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 1/2 cups of something fills  2/3 of a container, to know how much that fills 1 container, kindly follow the step bekow;

1 1/2 cups = 2/3 of a container

x cups = 1 container

cross multiply

1 1/2 * 1 = 2/3 * x

3/2 = 2/3 * x

3/2 = 2x/3

cross multiply

2* 2x = 3*3

4x = 9

x = 9/4

x = 2 1/4

Hence 2 1/4 cups of the same thing will fill a container
