Charlie uses 223 ounces of garlic to help make a jar of spaghetti sauce. Yesterday, he used 316 ounces of garlic. How many jars of sauce did he make?

Respuesta :

we know one jar takes up 223 oz, how many jars in 316 oz?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} oz&jars\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 223&1\\ 316&j \end{array}\implies \cfrac{223}{316}=\cfrac{1}{j}\implies j=\cfrac{316\cdot 1}{223}\implies j=1\frac{93}{223}[/tex]
