Krystal has 7 lbs of fresh dewberries. She uses 2/3 lb of dewberries to make a pint
3of dewberry jam. Krystal only uses the dewberries needed to make whole pints of jam and she makes as many pints as possible.
How many pounds of dewberries will Krystal have left over?
To find out how many pints of jam Krystal can make, divide the total weight of dewberries by the amount of dewberries needed for one pint of jam:
7 lbs / (2/3 lb/pint) = 10.5 pints
Since Krystal can only make whole pints of jam, she can make 10 pints of jam.
To find out how many pounds of dewberries she used to make the jam, multiply the weight per pint by the number of pints made:
(2/3 lb/pint) * 10 pints = 20/3 lbs of dewberries
To find out how many pounds of dewberries she has left over, subtract the amount used from the total amount:
7 lbs - 20/3 lbs = 21/3 lbs - 20/3 lbs = 1/3 lbs.
So Krystal has 1/3 pounds of dewberries left over.
To find out how many pounds of dewberries will Krystal have left over, we need to divide the total amount of dewberries Krystal has by the amount needed to make one pint of dewberry jam.
Krystal has 7 lbs of fresh dewberries.
She uses 2/3 lb of dewberries to make a pint of dewberry jam.
To determine how many pints of dewberry jam Krystal can make with 7 lbs of dewberries, we divide the total amount of dewberries by the amount needed for one pint:
7 lbs ÷ (2/3 lb/pint) = 7 lbs ÷ (2/3) pints = (7/1) lbs × (3/2) pints/lb = (7 × 3) / (1 × 2) = 21/2 = 10.5
Therefore, Krystal can make 10.5 pints of dewberry jam with 7 lbs of dewberries.
Since Krystal can only use the whole amount of dewberries needed to make pints of jam, she will have some leftover dewberries.
To determine how many pounds of dewberries Krystal will have left over, we need to subtract the amount used for whole pints:
Total amount of dewberries - (Amount used per pint × Number of pints made)
7 lbs - (2/3 lb/pint × 10 pints) = 7 lbs - (20/3 lbs) ≈ 7 lbs - 6.67 lbs ≈ 0.33 lbs
Therefore, Krystal will have approximately 0.33 lbs of dewberries left over.
To find out how many pounds of dewberries Krystal will have left over, we need to determine how many whole pints of dewberry jam she can make.
We know that Krystal uses 2/3 lb of dewberries to make one pint of jam. Therefore, we need to divide the total amount of dewberries she has (7 lbs) by 2/3 lb per pint to find out how many pints she can make.
Let's perform the calculation:
7 lbs ÷ (2/3 lb/pint) = 7 lbs × (3/2 lb) = (7 × 3) / 2 = 21 / 2 = 10.5 pints
Since Krystal can only use the dewberries needed to make whole pints, she can make 10 whole pints of dewberry jam.
Now, to find out how many pounds of dewberries she will have left over, we need to subtract the weight of the dewberries used to make the whole pints from the total weight of dewberries she has:
Total weight of dewberries - (Weight of dewberries per pint × Number of pints made)
7 lbs - (2/3 lb/pint × 10 pints) = 7 lbs - (20/3) lbs = 7 lbs - 6.67 lbs ≈ 0.33 lbs
Therefore, Krystal will have approximately 0.33 pounds of dewberries left over.
