Gordan can make a maximum of 20 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

Gordan has four 23.9 ounce jars of spaghetti sauce. The total amount of spaghetti sauce that he has is:

4 * 23.9 = 95.6 ounces

It takes 4.78 ounces of spaghetti sauce to make one pizza and Gordan uses all 4 jars of spaghetti sauce.

Therefore, the maximum number of pizzas that he can make will be the amount of spaghetti sauce divided by the amount of spaghetti sauce used for one pizza:

N = 95.6 / 4.78

N = 20 pizzas

Gordan can make a maximum of 20 pizzas
