Answer 1

Answer:

a) There are 250g of Strawberries in the Jar

b) There is 400g of Jam present in the Jar

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The Jam is made with sugar and Strawberry in the ration 3:5

Thus , by comparing them we can get

3:5 = 150:x

Therefore, 3x = 150*5 = 750

Therefore x = 250

Thus , there is 250g of Strawberries in the Jar.

b) Total Weight of Jam = Weight of Sugar + Weight of Strawberries

= 150 + 250 = 400 g

Total weight of Jam is 400g.
