Given:
Jazmine made [tex]3\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] cups of jam.
One jar can hold [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex] cup.
To find:
Number of jars of jam can Jasmine make.
Solution:
We have,
Capacity of each jar = [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex] cup
Total jam made by Jazmine = [tex]3\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] cups
= [tex]\dfrac{3(3)+1}{3}[/tex] cups
= [tex]\dfrac{10}{3}[/tex] cups
Now,
[tex]\text{Number of Jars of jam}=\dfrac{\text{Total jam made by Jazmine}}{\text{Capacity of each jar}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of Jars of jam}=\dfrac{\dfrac{10}{3}}{\dfrac{2}{5}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of Jars of jam}=\dfrac{10}{3}\times \dfrac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of Jars of jam}=\dfrac{25}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of Jars of jam}=8\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Approx the value to the next integer.
[tex]\text{Number of Jars of jam}\approx 9[/tex]
Therefore, Jasmine make 9 cups of jam in which 8 are completely filled and one is filled one third.
