Question

If one jar of glue weighs 1/12 pound, how many jars can rickie get from 2/3 pound of glue

Answer 1

Is it maybe 8 Jars..?

Answer 2

Answer:

8 jars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of glue in one jar = $\frac{1}{12}$ pound

To get $\frac{2}{3}$ pound of glue Rickie can get the number of jars

= $\frac{\frac{2}{3} }{\frac{1}{12}}$

= $\frac{2}{3}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{12}$

= $\frac{2}{3}$ × $\frac{12}{1}$

= $\frac{24}{3}$

= 8 jars

He can get 8 jars to get $\frac{2}{3}$ pounds of glue.
