[Scroll to the tool under "3.2: Homemade Jams"]
The toolbar includes buttons that represent 1 whole and fractional parts, as shown here. Click a button to choose a quantity, and then click in the work space of the applet window to drop it. When you're done choosing pieces, use the Move tool (the arrow) to drag them into the jars. You can always go back and get more pieces, or delete them with the Trash Can tool.
The jars in this applet are shown as stacked to make it easier to combine the jam and find out how much you have.
Here are the questions again.
