Question

Lucia is making blackberry jam. She starts with 25 cartons of blackberries. After making 9 jars of jam, she has 10 cartons of blackberries left. Lucia's jars all have the same capacity. Select true or false for each statement.

Answer 1

A = true

B = false

C = false

D = True

Explanation:

Cartons of blackberries = 25

Jars of blackberry jam made = 9

Cartons of blackberries left = 10

Cartons of blackberry used = Cartons of blackberries - Cartons of blackberries left

= 25 - 10

= 15

Cartons of blackberry used = 15

Cartons of blackberry used per jam = Cartons of blackberry used / Jars of blackberry jam made

= 15/9

= 5/3

A = true

15 jars of blackberry = Cartons of blackberry used per jam × jars of black berry made

= 5/3 × 15

= 75/3

= 25 cartons of blackberry

B = false

She can make 15 jars of blackberry jam using 25 cartons of blackberry

C = false

Cartons of blackberries left = 10

Number of blackberry jam made with 10 cartons of blackberry = Cartons of blackberries left / Cartons of blackberry used per jam

= 10 ÷ 5/3

= 10 × 3/5

= 30/5

= 6

D = True
