Answer:
Total number of jars will be 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The weight of each marble = 1/25 pound
The weight of all marbles = 3/5 pound
To determine
How many marbles are in the jar?
Let 'n' be the total number of jars
The total number of jars can be calculated by dividing the weight of all marbles by the weight of each marble.
Thus,
The total number of jars n = [weight of all marbles] / [weight of each marble]
= [3/5] / [1/25]
= [3 × 25] / [5 × 1]
= 75 / 5
= 15
Thus, total number of jars will be: n = 15
