Question

A bag with 2 2/5 ounces of peanuts can make 2 2/3 of a jar of peanut butter. It can make one full jar with how many ounces of peanuts?

Answer 1

9/10

Explanation:

Ounces per jar can be found from ...

ounces / jar = (2 2/5)/(2 2/3) = (12/5)/(8/3)

= (12/5)(3/8) = 36/40 = 9/10

9/10 ounces of peanuts will make 1 full jar of peanut butter.
