Question

If 1 bucket + 5 jars = 1 tub, and 3 buckets + 2 jars = 2 tubs, how many jars are equal to 1 tub?

Answer 1

1 jar cause my friens said it

Answer 2

There are 13 jars in 1 tub.

Explanation:

1 bucket + 5 jars = 1 tub

3 buckets + 2 jars = 2 tubs

Let buckets be = b

Let jars be = j

Let tubs be = t

So, we have :

`b+5j=t`

We get
`b=t-5j`

`3b+2j=2t`

We have to find the relation between j and t.

So, deducing equations in terms of j and t;

Substituting b here

`3(t-5j)+2j=2t`

`=> 3t-15j+2j=2t`

`=>3t-2t=15j-2j`

`=> t=13j`

This means that 13 jars equals to 1 tub, or we can also say that, there are 13 jars in 1 tub.
