Question

At Burger Barn, each burger is made with 5/12 pound of beef.If the chef has 3 1/3 pounds of ground beef,how many burgers can be made using all the ground beef?

Answer 1

Answer:

The ground beef can make 8 burgers

Step-by-step explanation:

At Burger Barn,

For one burger to be produced at Burger Barn, the amount of beef it will take is 5/12 pounds

This can be expressed as;

5/12 pounds per burger

1 burger= 5/12 pound of beef,

To calculate the number of burgers the 3 1/3 pounds of beef will make, we divide 3 1/3 pounds of beef that is given by the total pounds of beef it takes to make one burger:

Number of burgers=(3 1/3 pounds of beef given/Total pounds it takes to make one burger)

(10/3)÷(5/12)=(10/3)×(12/5)=8 burgers
