Answer

Find out the how many quarts of peanuts would u need to make 6 jars .

To prove

As given

$A\ bag\ with\ 2(3)/(4)\ quarts\ of\ peanuts\ can\ make\ jars\ 3(3)/(4) jars\ of\ peanut\ butter.$

i.e

$A\ bag\ with\ (11)/(4)\ quarts\ of\ peanuts\ can\ make\ jars\ (15)/(4) jars\ of\ peanut\ butter.$

Thus

$(11)/(4) quarts\ of\ peanuts= (15)/(4)\ jars\ of\ peanuts\ butter$

Now for the one jar of the peanuts butter.

$1\ jars\ of\ peanuts\ butter = ((11)/(4))/((15)/(4))\ quarts\ of\ peanut\ butter$

$1\ jars\ of\ peanuts\ butter = (11)/(15)\ quarts\ of\ peanut\ butter$

Thus

$Peanut\ used\ for\ 6\ jars\ of\ the\ peanuts\ butter = (6* 11)/(15)$

$Peanut\ used\ for\ 6\ jars\ of\ the\ peanuts\ butter = (22)/(5)quarts$

= 4.4 quarts .

Therefore for making 6 jars of the peanut butter 4.4 quarts of peanuts butter is required .
