Question

A restaurant buys mustard in 3/4 pound jars. If a 27 pound carton was bought, how many jars would be in the carton?

Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the carton weight by the weight of 1 jar

27 ÷ $\frac{3}{4}$

= 27 × $\frac{4}{3}$

= $\frac{27(4)}{3}$

= $\frac{108}{3}$

= 36

There are 36 jars in a carton

Answer 2

27 divided by 3/4 is 36 jars
