Answer:
8 jars.
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight of glue in one jar = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] pound
To get [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pound of glue Rickie can get the number of jars
= [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{3} }{\frac{1}{12}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{12}{1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{24}{3}[/tex]
= 8 jars
He can get 8 jars to get [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pounds of glue.
