Answer:1/2 of the teapot

Step-by-step explanation: Since 1/3 of the teapot is equal to 2/3 of the container, 1/3 of the container is equal to half of 1/3 of the teapot. We know that 1/3 divided by 2 equals 1/6, so 1/6 of the teapot is equal to 1/3 of the container. There are 3-thirds in a whole so we have to multiply 1/6 by 3. This equals 3/6 or 1/2.
