Solution
Audrey made 1/3 as much raspberry jam as strawberry jam. Since she made enough strawberry jam to fill 3 jars, to find out how many jars the raspberry jam will fill, you simply divide the amount of strawberry jam by 3.
So, 3 (the amount of strawberry jam) divided by 3 (since the raspberry jam is a third of the amount of the strawberry jam) equals 1.
Therefore, the raspberry jam will fill 1 jar.
