Solution

First, we need to find out how much jam Paula jars in one day. We do this by dividing the total amount of jam she jars in 6 days by 6.

6.6 litres ÷ 6 days = 1.1 litres/day

This means Paula jars 1.1 litres of jam each day.

Next, we need to find out how much jam Paula jars in 9 days. We do this by multiplying the amount of jam she jars in one day by 9.

1.1 litres/day x 9 days = 9.9 litres

So, if Paula spent 9 days making jam, she would jar 9.9 litres of jam.
