Evan jarred 10 liters of jam after 2 days. How many days does Evan need to spend making jam if he wants to jar 15 liters of jam in all? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Respuesta :

Find liters per day by dividing the amount made by the number of days :

10 liters / 2 days = 5 liters per day.

Find how much more he needs to make by subtracting the amount made from the total he wants:

15 liters - 10 liters = 5 liters more needed.

Divide amount needed by time:

5/5 = 1

He will need to spend 1 more day, which means he will spend a total of 3 days to make 15 liters.
