To find the amount of strawberries used for the jam, we need to multiply the total amount of strawberries picked (31/2 pints) by the fraction representing the portion used for the jam (4/5).
(31/2) * (4/5) = (31 * 4) / (2 * 5) = 124/10 = 12 4/10 = 12 2/5
Therefore, Ricardo used 12 2/5 pints of strawberries for the jam.
