I want to can some dill pickles but can't figure out the measurements for the amount of cucumbers I have. Here's the packages instructions
\n" ); document.write( "9-11 lbs pickling cucumbers
\n" ); document.write( "3 1/3 cups mrs wages white distilled vinegar
\n" ); document.write( "7 1/3 cups water
\n" ); document.write( "1 pouch(46tsp) mrs wages dill mix
\n" ); document.write( "Now I need it for 2-3 pounds of cucumbers.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "The average of 9-11 is 10
\n" ); document.write( "The average of 2-3 is 2.5
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "The reduction factor for the ingredients is 2.5/10 = 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "(1/4)(3 1/3) = (1/4)(10/3) = 10/12 = 5/6 of Mrs Wages white distilled vinegar
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "(1/4)(7 1/3) = (1/4)(22/3) = 22/12 = 1 5/6 cups of water
