Answer: 6 jars

Explanation:

All you need to do is divide 2 by 1/3. This is the same thing as multiplying 2 by the reciprocal of 1/3 (just flip the fraction) which is 3/1 or 3. Now, just multiply 2 and the reciprocal of 1/3, which we found out was three, and you should should get your answer of 6 jars. Hope this helps!
