Kaylee can fill 4 / (1/3) = <<4/(1/3)=12>>12 containers. Answer: \boxed{12}.
12 cups?
Apologies for the confusion. If Kaylee has 4 cups of sugar and each container can hold 1/3 of a cup of sugar, we need to divide 4 by 1/3.
To divide by a fraction, we flip the fraction and multiply. So, 4 divided by 1/3 is the same as 4 multiplied by 3/1.
Multiplying 4 by 3 gives us 12.
Therefore, Kaylee will be able to fill 12 containers with the 4 cups of sugar she has. Thank you for catching that mistake!
