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

Respuesta :

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the carton weight by the weight of 1 jar

27 ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

= 27 × [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{27(4)}{3}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{108}{3}[/tex]

= 36

There are 36 jars in a carton

27 divided by 3/4 is 36 jars
