A container holds 5 quarts when filled now it contains 3 3/4 quarts of water. How much more water must be added to fill the container

5 = 4 4/4 quarts

(4 4/4) - (3 3/4) = ______ qyarts

To find out how much more water must be added to fill the container, we need to subtract the amount of water already present from the total capacity of the container.

The total capacity of the container is 5 quarts.

The amount of water already present is 3 3/4 quarts.

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 4.

So, we can convert 5 quarts to a fraction with a denominator of 4: 5 quarts = 20/4 quarts.

Now, we can subtract the amount of water already present from the total capacity: 20/4 - 15/4 = 5/4.

Therefore, you must add an additional 5/4 quarts of water to fill the container.
