Question

This equation shows how the amount of jam Jenna has jarred is related to the number of days she has spent making jam.

j = 6d

The variable d represents the number of days spent making jam, and the variable j represents the amount of jam jarred. How many days does Jenna need to spend making jam if she wants to jar 12 liters of jam in all?

____ days

Answer 1

Jenna need 2 days to make jam if she wants to jar 12 litres of jam in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation shows the amount of jam Jenna has jarred is related to the number of days she has spent making jam.

$j=6d$

where j represents the amount of jam jarred and d represents the number of days spent making jam.

To find the number of days that Jenna will need if she wants to jar 12 litres of jam is to substitute $j=12$ in $j=6d$

$12=6d$

Dividing 6 on both sides, we get,

$2=d$

Thus, Jenna need 2 days to make jam if she wants to jar 12 litres of jam in all.
