Question

Penny makes 5 liters of applesauce. She saves 0.92 liter for dinner and puts the rest in jars.

If each jar holds 0.68 liter, how many jars can she fill?

Answer 1

Penny can fill 6 jars with the remaining applesauce.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many jars Penny can fill with the remaining applesauce, we need to subtract the amount saved for dinner (0.92 liter) from the total amount made (5 liters).

Remaining applesauce = Total amount made - Amount saved for dinner
Remaining applesauce = 5 liters - 0.92 liter
Remaining applesauce = 4.08 liters

Now, we can divide the remaining applesauce by the capacity of each jar (0.68 liter) to find the number of jars Penny can fill.

Number of jars = Remaining applesauce / Capacity of each jar
Number of jars = 4.08 liters / 0.68 liter
Number of jars = 6 jars
