Question

Roxanne has already jarred 10 liters of jam and will jar an additional 3 liters of jam every

day. How many days does Roxanne need to spend making jam if she wants to jar 16 liters
of jam in all?
Explain please and how to do the equation

Answer 1

3

My logic:

so she jars 10 on the first day (that is 1 day) and she wants to jar 16. so if you subtract 10 from 16 you get 6. Now we know she wants to jar 6 more, and if she does 3 every day then you would divide 6 by 3 and get 2. 2+1 is 3, so 3 days. (if you cant chose 3 chose 2 because your teacher might not want yo to count the first day)

Hope this helped!
