Given :
A bag with 2 ½ ounces of peanuts can make ⅔ of a jar of peanut butter.
To Find :
How many ounces of peanuts will it take for there to be one jar of peanut butter.
Solution :
[tex]2\dfrac{1}{2}\ ounces = \dfrac{2}{3}\ jar\\\\\dfrac{5}{2}\ ounces = \dfrac{2}{3}\ jar\\\\1= \dfrac{15}{4}\ \dfrac{ounces}{jar}[/tex]
Now,
1 jar of peanut butter is made by :
[tex]1\times jar \times \dfrac{15}{4} \dfrac{ounces}{jar}\\\\\dfrac{15}{4}\ ounces[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
