Question

There are 480 jellybeans in an 8-ounce jar. How many jellybeans are there per ounce in the jar?

0.017
6
60
3,840

Answer 1

The answer would be 60. This is because 480/8=60. 

Answer 2

For this case, what we must do is divide the total amount of jellybeans by the total number of ounces.

For this, we use the following equation:

`r = \frac {amount\ of\ jellybeans} {number\ of\ ounces}`

Substituting values:

`r = \frac {480} {8}\\r = 60`

Answer:

There are 60 jellybeans per ounce in the jar.
