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

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.
