Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
since he has 2 pounds of ground beef and we are dividing these pounds into 8th's he would have a total of 16/8 meaning 8/8 for each pound of ground beef.
and since he used 5/8 for each of the two huge meat balls that means he used a total of 10/8 in total leaving 6/8.
[tex]16/8 = 8/8 + 8/8\\[/tex]
[tex]5/8 + 5/8 = 10/8\\16/8-10/8=6/8[/tex]
so since he is making 1/8 pound meatballs and he has 6/8 pounds of ground beef left he can make 6 of the 1/8 pound meatballs
