Question

A restaurant is making hamburgers The cooks use 2/3 pound of beef hamburger if the cooks have 32 2/3 pounds of beef how many hamburgers can they make

Answer 1

They can make 49 hamburgers.

Explanation:

The operation we will be using is division

Convert 32 2/3 into an improper fraction= 98/3

Flip 2/3 into its reciprocal: 3/2 (When dividing fractions, we always flip the divisor into its reciprocal

Multiply:

98 3

----- x ------

3 2

You can cross simplify so both 3's become 1.

98 1

----- x -----

1 2

98x1=98

1x2=2

You now simplify:

98/2=49

They can make 49 hamburgers.

Hope this helps! :)
