Jian’s family sells honey from beehives. They collected 3,311 ounces of honey from the beehives this season. They will use the honey to completely fill 4-ounce jars or 6-ounce jars.
Jian’s family will sell 4-ounce jars for $5 each or 6-ounce jars for $8 each.
Jian says if they use only 4-ounce jars, they could make $4,140 because 3,311\div4=827 R 3. That rounds up to 828, and 828 multiplied by $5 is $4,140.
Explain the error that Jian made when finding the amount of money his family could make if they use only 4-ounce jars.
