Question

Miguel has 3/4 of a pound of pulled pork. Each pull pork sandwich uses 1/8 of a pound. How many pulled pork sandwiches can Miguel make?

Answer 1

6 sandwiches

Explanation:

3/4 lb of pork is available. Divide this quantity by the weight (1/8 lob) of the pork that goes into one sandwich:

3/4 lb 3(8)

----------- = ---------- = 6 sandwiches

(1/8) lb 4(1)

Here, to divide by the fraction 1/8, I invert it, obtaining 8/1, and then multiply.

Answer 2

6 Pork Sandwiches

Explanation:

Convert 3/4 pound so that the denominator is the same as 1/8 pound and you'll find that it becomes 6/8 making it so that there can be 6 sandwiches made.
