Answer:
To find out how many jars Jazmine can fill with her 3 1/3 cups of jam, we need to divide the total amount of jam by the amount of jam that each jar can hold.
First, we need to convert 3 1/3 cups into an improper fraction:
3 + 1/3 = (3 x 3 + 1) / 3 = 10/3
So, Jazmine has 10/3 cups of jam.
Next, we need to convert the jar size of 2/5 cup into a fraction with the same denominator as 10/3:
2/5 = 6/15
Now we can divide the total amount of jam by the amount of jam that each jar can hold:
(10/3) ÷ (6/15)
To divide fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(10/3) x (15/6)
Simplifying:
(10/3) x (5/2) = (50/6)
So Jazmine can fill (50/6) jars with her 3 1/3 cups of jam.
This is an improper fraction, so we can convert it to a mixed number:
(50/6) = 8 2/6 = 8 1/3
Therefore, Jazmine can fill 8 and 1/3 jars with her 3 1/3 cups of jam.
