Sarah uses 3/4 pound of blueberries to make 2/3 cup of jam. How many pounds of blueberries does she need to make each cup of jam?

A. 1/12
B. 1/2
C. 1 1/8
D. 1 5/12

1 1/8

To find the number of pounds of blueberries needed for each cup of jam, we need to divide the amount of blueberries used by the amount of jam made.

Sarah uses 3/4 pound of blueberries to make 2/3 cup of jam.

To get the amount of blueberries used per cup of jam, we divide 3/4 by 2/3.

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction (3/4) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (2/3).

Reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. Multiplying 3/4 by 3/2, we get (3/4) * (3/2) = 9/8.

Therefore, Sarah needs 9/8 pounds of blueberries to make each cup of jam.

Simplifying 9/8, we get 1 1/8.

Therefore, the answer is C. 1 1/8.

Cross multiply and solve for x.

(3/4) / (2/3) = x / 1
