The total amount In cups of dry goods that tanner could store in all three containers is; 26¹¹/₁₂ cups

We are told that;

Quantity of container A; 12³/₄ cups of dry goods = ⁵¹/₄ cups of dry goods

Quantity of container B; ²/₃ * container A = ²/₃ * 12³/₄ = ⁵¹/₆ cups of dry goods

Quantity of container C; ²/₃ * container B = ²/₃ * ⁵¹/₆ = ⁵¹/₉ cups of dry goods

Thus;

Total amount in cups of dry goods that could be stored in all 3 containers is; ⁵¹/₄ + ⁵¹/₆ + ⁵¹/₉ = 323/12

⇒ 26¹¹/₁₂ cups
