    32 days

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assume that the jar is full initially, containing 24 oz. After how many withdrawals of 3/4 oz will the jar be empty?

    24 - (3/4) n = 0, or

    24 = (3/4) n, or 96 = 3n. Dividing both sides by 3, we get n = 32.

    The jar will be empty after 32 days.
