Question

Clive is making hamburgers for a cookout. How many 1/4- pounds hamburgers can he make from 2 and 3/4 pounds of ground beef

Answer 1

Answer:

11   1/4- pounds hamburgers can be made from 2 and 3/4 pounds of ground beef.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the amount of beef uses in 1 hamburger = 1/4 pound  = 0.25 pounds

Total amount of beef  available = 2 3/4 pounds

Now, solving the mixed fraction,we get

$2\frac{3}{4}   = 2 + \frac{3}{4}  = 2 + 0.75= 2.75$

So, the total available beef = 2.75 pounds

Now, $\textrm{ Number of burgers made}  = \frac{\textrm{Weight of available beef}}{\textrm{Beef used in 1 hamburger}}$

= $\frac{2.75}{0.25}   = 11$

So, the total number of hamburgers made = 11

Hence,  11   1/4- pounds hamburgers can be made from 2 and 3/4 pounds of ground beef.
