Levi made strawberry jam and raspberry jam. He made enough strawberry jam to fill 1/4 of a jar. If he made 5 times as much raspberry jam as strawberry jam, how many jars will the raspberry jam fill?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the raspberry jam will fill [tex]\( 1 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \)[/tex] jars. Therefore, the raspberry jam will [tex]\( \frac{5}{4} \)[/tex]  jars.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Levi made enough strawberry jam to fill[tex]\( \frac{1}{4} \)[/tex] a jar, and he made 5 times as much raspberry jam as strawberry jam, then the raspberry jam fills [tex]\( 5 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \) of a jar.[/tex]

Since [tex]\( \frac{5}{4} \)[/tex] jars are equal to 1 jar and [tex]\( \frac{1}{4} \)[/tex] of a jar, the raspberry jam fills 1 full jar and an additional [tex]\( \frac{1}{4} \)[/tex] jar.

So, the raspberry jam will fill [tex]\( 1 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \)[/tex] jars. Therefore, the raspberry jam will [tex]\( \frac{5}{4} \)[/tex]  jars.
