Question

Plz don’t skip I rlly need this answer step by step by tonight

Kelsey is helping her grandmother can jelly. Kelsey has jarred 12 quarts of jam after 3 days. How much did Kelsey jar if she spent 10 days making jam?

Answer 1

40 quarts

Explanation:

For this question, you set up a proportion. You know that Kelsey jarred 12 quarts of jam after 3 days so you set 12 quarts/3days equal to x quarts/10days.

12 quarts/3 days=x quarts/10 days

Then, you can cross multiply. You get 3x=120.

Then, divide 3 by both sides to get x by itself.

120/3=40

Your answer is 40 quarts.

Hope that helps!
