Answer:

1/3 jars

Explanation:

A gardener divided 4 gallons of liquid plant food equally into jars. Each jar contained 12 gallon of plant food. How many jars did the gardener use?

From the above question:

12 gallons of plant food = 1 jar

4 gallons of plant food = x

Cross Multiply

12x = 4 × 1

x = 4/12

x = 1/3

Therefore, the gardener used 1/3 jars
