Given :

Jam jarred by Scott = 10 liters 

Number of days = 5

Required amount of jam = 16 liters

Number of days =  ?

According to question, 

Number of days/16 = 5/10

Number of days/16 = 1/2

Cross-Multiplying,  we get

Number of days = 16/2

Number of days = 8

 

Thus, it will take 8 days to make 16 liters of jam.
