Answer:
Explanation:
It's algebra really, basically make a system of equations.
1b+5j=t
3b+2j=2t
I'm gonna solve the first one for buckets so we have it in terms of jars.
b+5j=t
b=t-5j
Now I plug that into the other equation
3b+2j=2t
3(t-5j)+2j=2t
3t-15j+2j=2t
Now, since it wants how many jars are in one tub, I want to solve it so there's 1t on one side of the equation and all js on the other. or it other words solve for t.
3t-15j+2j=2t
3t-13j = 2t
3t = 2t+13j
t = 13j
So it takes 13 jars to make one tub, or one jar is 1/13 of a tub. You could then plug that in to one of the equations and find how much a bucket is.
