Question

The Better Nutter Butter Co packed 400 lb. of peanut butter into jars holding 2.5 lbs. each. How many jars were used?

Answer 1

160 jars

Explanation:

To find how many jars were used, we just need to divide the amount of stuff by the amount of stuff a jar can hold.

400 (the amount of peanut number in pounds) / 2.5 (the amount of peanut butter each jar can hold) = 160.

So, 160 jars were used to package the 400 pounds of peanut butter.
