Levi made strawberry jam and raspberry jam. He made enough strawberry jam to fill 1 1/3 jars. If he made 1 2/3 times as much raspberry jam as strawberry jam, how many jars will the raspberry jam fill?
Question
Levi made strawberry jam and raspberry jam. He made enough strawberry jam to fill 1 1/3 jars. If he made 1 2/3 times as much raspberry jam as strawberry jam, how many jars will the raspberry jam fill?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to multiply the amount of strawberry jam Levi made by 1 2/3 to find out how much raspberry jam he made.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
1 1/3 = 4/3 (because 1*3 + 1 = 4)
1 2/3 = 5/3 (because 1*3 + 2 = 5)
Now, we multiply the amount of strawberry jam by the amount of raspberry jam:
(4/3) * (5/3) = 20/9
This fraction is a little over 2 (since 18/9 = 2), so Levi made a little over 2 jars of raspberry jam.
