Avia and her aunt have a crate of peaches that they want to put in jars. To find out how many jars they can fill, we need to determine the number of peaches in the crate first. Let's say the crate has 24 peaches.
1. Number of peaches in the crate = 24
Since they want to put 6 peaches in each jar, we can divide the total number of peaches by the number of peaches per jar to find out how many jars they can fill.
2. Number of peaches per jar = 6
Now, let's divide the total number of peaches by the number of peaches per jar:
24 peaches ÷ 6 peaches per jar = 4 jars
Therefore, Avia and her aunt can fill 4 jars with the peaches from the crate.
Explanation of solution:
- We first identified the number of peaches in the crate (24 peaches).
- Then, we determined the number of peaches they wanted to put in each jar (6 peaches per jar).
- By dividing the total number of peaches by the number of peaches per jar, we found out that they can fill 4 jars with the peaches.
- This method allows us to calculate the number of jars needed based on the quantity of peaches and the desired amount per jar.
