Question

Scarlett has already jarred 11 liters of jam and will jar an additional 1 liter of jam every day. How much jam did Scarlett jar if she spent 6 days making jam?

A) 5 liters of jam
B) 6 liters of jam
C) 11 liters of jam
D) 17 liters of jam

Answer 1

By multiplying the daily jarring of 1 liter by 6 days and adding it to the initial 11 liters, it's calculated that Scarlett jarred 17 liters of jam in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scarlett has already jarred 11 liters of jam and will jar an additional 1 liter of jam every day. To calculate how much jam Scarlett jarred if she spent 6 days making jam, we simply need to multiply the number of days by the liters jarred each day and add the initial amount already jarred.

Scarlett jars 1 liter of jam every day for 6 days:

• 1 liter/day × 6 days = 6 liters

Adding the initial 11 liters already jarred gives us:

• 11 liters + 6 liters = 17 liters of jam

Therefore, Scarlett jarred a total of 17 liters of jam after 6 days.
