Answer 2

Calculation of the Number of Apricots Purchased

To calculate the number of apricots purchased by the grandmother, we can use the information provided.

According to the information given, the weight of the apricots is more than 1 kg but less than 2 kg. Additionally, it is mentioned that there are approximately 40 apricots in 1 kg.

Let's calculate the number of apricots in 1 kg:

1 kg = 40 apricots

Now, let's calculate the number of apricots in the weight range given:

1 kg < Weight < 2 kg

Since the weight is more than 1 kg, we can assume it to be 1.5 kg.

Using the ratio of 40 apricots per 1 kg, we can calculate the number of apricots in 1.5 kg:

1.5 kg * 40 apricots/kg = 60 apricots

Therefore, the grandmother purchased 60 apricots.

Calculation of the Remaining Apricots

Next, let's calculate the remaining apricots after the grandmother prepares the compote.

If she puts 8 apricots in each jar, there will be some apricots left. If she puts 10 apricots in each jar, there will be 6 fewer apricots left.

Let's calculate the number of jars and the remaining apricots for both scenarios:

1. Putting 8 apricots in each jar:

If she puts 8 apricots in each jar, the number of jars can be calculated by dividing the total number of apricots by 8:

60 apricots / 8 apricots per jar = 7.5 jars

Since we cannot have a fraction of a jar, we can assume that she will use 7 jars.

To calculate the remaining apricots, we subtract the number of apricots used in the jars from the total number of apricots:

60 apricots - (7 jars * 8 apricots per jar) = 60 apricots - 56 apricots = 4 apricots

Therefore, if she puts 8 apricots in each jar, there will be 4 apricots remaining.

2. Putting 10 apricots in each jar:

If she puts 10 apricots in each jar, the number of jars can be calculated by dividing the total number of apricots by 10:

60 apricots / 10 apricots per jar = 6 jars

To calculate the remaining apricots, we subtract the number of apricots used in the jars from the total number of apricots:

60 apricots - (6 jars * 10 apricots per jar) = 60 apricots - 60 apricots = 0 apricots

Therefore, if she puts 10 apricots in each jar, there will be no apricots remaining.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the grandmother purchased 60 apricots. If she puts 8 apricots in each jar, there will be 4 apricots remaining. If she puts 10 apricots in each jar, there will be no apricots remaining.
