Pablo jarred 42 liters of jam after 6 days. How much jam did Pablo jar if he spent 9 days making jam? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Question

liters

Answer 1

To find out how much jam Pablo jarred in 9 days, we can set up a proportion:

6 days / 42 liters = 9 days / x liters

Cross multiplying, we get:

6 * x = 9 * 42
6x = 378
x = 378 / 6

x = 63

Therefore, Pablo jarred 63 liters of jam in 9 days.
