If 2 1/2 pints of jelly filled 3 1/2 jars, how many jars will you need for 12 pints of jelly? (a) Interpret each value of the ratio 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 as a unit rate. (Recall the values of a ratio A to B are BA and BA.) (b) Solve the problem using an appropriate unit rate and meaning of multiplication. Make clear what is a group and what are the units. (c) Solve the problem using a proportion and cross multiplication.
