Answer:

104 beans

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, let's break this down step-by-step:

* The large jar contains 7 times as many beans as the small jar

* The large jar contains 728 beans

We can use this information to calculate the number of beans in the small jar.

Let's call the number of beans in the small jar 'x'.

We know that the large jar contains 7 times as many beans as the small jar, so we can write:

* Large jar beans = 7 * small jar beans

* 728 = 7 * x

Solving for x:

* 728 = 7x

* x = 728 / 7

* x = 104

Therefore, the small jar contains 104 beans.
