One whole jar= 3/3 or 1
Set up a ratio comparing the two sets of measurements.
2 2/4 ounces of peanuts is to 2/3 of a jar as x ounces of peanuts is to 3/3 of a jar.
x= ounces in 1 whole jar
2 2/4 / 2/3= x / 3/3
cross multiply
(2 2/4 * 3/3)= (2/3 * x)
convert to improper fractions
10/4 * 3/3= 2/3x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(10*3)/(4*3)= 2/3x
30/12= 2/3x
divide both sides by 2/3
30/12 ÷ 2/3= x
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 2/3
30/12 * 3/2= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(30*3)/(12*2)= x
90/24= x
simplify by 6
15/4 or 3 3/4 ounces= x
ANSWER: 3 3/4 ounces can make a full jar.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
x= -10
Step-by-step explanation:
So because the angle 55 is part of the same line as one of the unknown angles you can do 180-55 to find that first angle at the top, which is 125.
Next add all three angles (125 + x + 35 + x + 40)=180
Combine the x values to get 2x and subtract the three values from 180
Then 2x= -20, x should be equal to -10
You can plug x back into the values and check your work by adding all the values again, making it all equal to 180 degrees again
