Question

There are 480 jellybeans in an 8-ounce jar. How many jellybeans are there per ounce in the jar?

Answer 1

I think it would be 60 per ounce. I did 480 divided by 8 to get 60. So... that may be your answer

Answer 2

1. The information given in the problem says that there are 480 jellybeans in an 8-ounce jar. To find the amount of jellybeans per pounce in the jar, you only have to divide 480 jellybeans by 8 ounces. This is shown below:
 
 x: amount of jellybeans per pounce
 
 x=480 jellybeans/8 ounces
 
 2. Then, the result is:
 
 x=60
 
 How many jellybeans are there per ounce in the jar?
 
 The answer is: There are 60 jellybeans per ounce.
