Question

Jaylen made strawberry jam and raspberry jam. He made enough strawberry jam to fill 4 5/6 jars. If he made 5 times as much raspberry jam as strawberry jam, how many jars will the raspberry jam fill? Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

Answer: 24 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Jaylen made strawberry jam and raspberry jam and that he made enough strawberry jam to fill 4 5/6 jars.

We are further told that he made 5 times as much raspberry jam as strawberry jam, the number of jars that the raspberry jam will fill will be:

= 5 × 4 5/6

We would change 4 5/6 to improper fraction. This will be 29/6.

= 5 × 29/6

= 145/6

= 24 1/6
