This problem is an incomplete question... simply out of kindness, let's convert the volume of the rectangular container from cm^3 to cups.
we use the following conversion factors:
since 1m = 100cm:
1 m^3 = 100^3 cm^3 = 10^6 cm^3
we convert from m^3 to oz:
1m^3 = 33814 oz
and from oz to cups:
8oz = 1 cup
therefore:
13*7*6 cm^3 * (1m^3/10^6 cm^3) * (33814 oz/1m^3) * (1 cup/8oz) = 2.307 cups
the capacity of the container is therefore approximately 2.31 cups, so Winnie overfilled the container by a lot and perhaps that is what this question was asking...
