Answer:

Number of jars can be filled from 15kg of the salt = 468 or 469 jars (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of salt containing in jar = 32 gram

Total amount of salt in jar = 15 kg

Find:

Number of jars can be filled from 15kg of the salt

Computation:

Total amount of salt in jar = 15 kg

Total amount of salt in jar (in grams) = 15 x 1000 g

Total amount of salt in jar (in grams) = 15,000 g

Number of jars can be filled from 15kg of the salt = Total amount of salt in jar (in grams) / Amount of salt containing in jar

Number of jars can be filled from 15kg of the salt = 15,000 / 32

Number of jars can be filled from 15kg of the salt = 468.75

Number of jars can be filled from 15kg of the salt = 468 or 469 jars (Approx.)
