Question

A restaurant buys mustard in 3/4 pound jars. If a 27 pound carton was bought, how many jars would be in the carton?

Answer 1

Answer:

36 Jars

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide weight of carton by weight of jars:

$\frac{27}{(3/4)\\}$ = 36

Alternatively 3/4 = 0.75 so:

$\frac{27}{0.75}$ = 36
