Multiply 14 by 2.5 to see how much honey is being held within all the jars (combined). We get 35. Now, all we need to do to find how many 3.5 lb jars we would need to hold 35 pounds of honey. Do this by dividing 35 by 3.5, which is equal to 10 jars (3.5 lb) to hold the same amount of honey.
The number of jars with a capacity of 3.5 lb would be needed to hold the same amount of honey is 10.
What are ratio and proportion?
A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.
14 jars are needed to hold a certain amount of honey. And each with a capacity of 2.5 lb.
Then the amount of honey will be
[tex]\rm Amount\ of\ honey = 2.5 * 14 = 35[/tex]
The jars with a capacity of 3.5 lb would be needed to hold the same amount of honey will be
[tex]\rm Number\ of\ jar = \dfrac{35}{3.5}\\\\Number\ of\ jar = 10[/tex]
The number of jars with a capacity of 3.5 lb would be needed to hold the same amount of honey is 10.
