Answer:
Miss Simon can make 4 whole servings of chili with 4/5 of a serving using the given amount of ground turkey.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many servings of chili Miss Simon can make, we need to calculate the total amount of ground turkey she has and then divide it by the amount of turkey needed for each serving of chili.
Given that each package of ground turkey is 1/8 lb, and Miss Simon needs 3/5 of the ground turkey, we can multiply the weight of each package by 3/5:
(1/8 lb) * (3/5) = 3/40 lb
So, Miss Simon has 3/40 lb of ground turkey.
To find out how many servings of chili she can make, we need to divide the total amount of turkey by the amount needed for each serving. Since each serving requires 1 package of turkey (1/8 lb), we can divide the total amount by 1/8 lb:
(3/40 lb) ÷ (1/8 lb) = (3/40 lb) * (8/1 lb) = 3/5 * 8/1 = 24/5
Therefore, Miss Simon can make 24/5 servings of chili.
However, it's important to note that serving sizes are typically whole numbers, so we need to simplify this fraction. 24/5 can be simplified to:
24 ÷ 5 = 4 remainder 4
So, Miss Simon can make 4 whole servings of chili with a remainder of 4/5 of a serving.
In conclusion, Miss Simon can make 4 whole servings of chili with 4/5 of a serving using the given amount of ground turkey.
