14 jars, each with a capacity of 2.5 lb, are needed to hold a certain amount of honey. How many jars with a capacity of 3.5 lb would be needed to hold the same amount of honey?

Multiply 14 by 2.5 to see how much honey is being held within all the jars (combined). We get 35. Now, all we need to do to find how many 3.5 lb jars we would need to hold 35 pounds of honey. Do this by dividing 35 by 3.5, which is equal to 10 jars (3.5 lb) to hold the same amount of honey.
