Question

At Smith's Bar-B-Q restaurant, an entire slab of brisket weighs 12.8 pounds. It is cut into portions for sandwiches. Each portion uses 0.25 pound of brisket. How many sandwiches can they make from the slab of brisket?

Answer 1

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out how many 0.25 lb pieces are in 12.8 lb slab of brisket, you need to divide 12.8 ÷ 0.25, which equals 51.2. Since you can't put the 0.2 of a piece in a sandwich, that gives you 51 pieces, which makes 51 sandwiches.
