Answer:

Total number of jars will be 15.

Explanation:

Given

The weight of each marble = 1/25 pound

The weight of all marbles = 3/5 pound

To determine

How many marbles are in the jar?

Let 'n' be the total number of jars

The total number of jars can be calculated by dividing the weight of all marbles by the weight of each marble.

Thus,

The total number of jars n = [weight of all marbles] / [weight of each marble]

= [3/5] / [1/25]

= [3 × 25] / [5 × 1]

= 75 / 5

= 15

Thus, total number of jars will be: n = 15
