  3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount is reduced by 4/9 cup each day for 5 days, so the amount remaining is ...

  (5 1/2) - 5(4/9) = 11/2 -20/9 = (99 -40)/18 = 59/18 = 3 5/18 ≈ 3.28 . . . cups

This value is (slightly) closer to 3.5 than to 3.0.

The best estimate of the remaining amount is 3 1/2 cups.
