Answer: 75 ounces

Explanation:

The 12 jars combined weigh 180 ounces in total. We find the weight per jar by dividing 180 ounces by 12 which gives is 15 ounces per jar. We find the weight of 5 jars by multiplying 5 jars by 15 ounces. Here are the calculations as follows.

  • 180÷12=15
  • 15x5=75
