Question

A recipe calls for 12 cups of blueberries to make 7 jars of blueberry jam. What is true about the number of cups of blueberries in each jar?

Answer 1

the 12 cups are divided evenly between the seven jars

Answer 2

1.71 cups

Explanation:

A recipe calls for 12 cups of blueberries to make 7 jars of blueberry jam.

We solve this problem by dividing 12 by 7 to get how many cups of blueberries use to make 1 jar of blueberry jam.

therefore,
`(12)/(7)` = 1.71 cups of blueberries.

In each jar 1.71 cups of blueberries would use.
