Question

mrs.brady made $8 \frac{1}{4}$quarts of peach preserves.if each jar holds$\frac{3}{4}$quart of preserves,how many jars will she need to hold these preserves?

Answer 1

Mrs, Brady made 8 1/4 quarts of peach preserves.

Each jar holds (3/4) quart of preserves.

So, to find the number of jars, divide the total he made by the amount of jar

So,

The number of jars =

$\frac{8\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}}=8\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{4}{3}=\frac{33}{4}\cdot\frac{4}{3}=\frac{33}{3}=11$

So, she will need 11 jars
