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.
