Question

If one jar of glue weighs 1/12 pound, how many jars can rickie get from 2/3 pound of glue

Answer 1

Is it maybe 8 Jars..?

Answer 2

8 jars.

Explanation:

The weight of glue in one jar =
`(1)/(12)` pound

To get
`(2)/(3)` pound of glue Rickie can get the number of jars

=
`((2)/(3) )/((1)/(12))`

=
`(2)/(3)` ÷
`(1)/(12)`

=
`(2)/(3)` ×
`(12)/(1)`

=
`(24)/(3)`

= 8 jars

He can get 8 jars to get
`(2)/(3)` pounds of glue.
