Question

Daphne has 24 fluid ounces of oil to be poured in 2 jars. Find how much ounces of oil each jar can hold.

• A. 16
• B. 12
• C. 14
• D. 13

Answer 1

The correct option is B 12

We know that,
$1\times 24=24$
$2\times 12=24$
$3\times 8=24$
$4\times 6=24$

The factors of 24 are- 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.

$\text{2 jars -}2\times 12=24ounces.$

Daphne needs to fill 12 ounces in each jar.
