Question

Which expression can be used to solve this problem?

How many 14 pound patties can be made from 5 pounds of ground turkey?

A. 14⋅5
B. 5÷14
C. 14÷5
D.14⋅15

Answer 1

Option B) 5÷14 is correct.

Explanation:

It is given that 14 pound patties are to be made from 5 pounds of ground turkey, let the number of turkeys be "n".

Thus, the equation becomes,

`(14)(n) = 5`

thus, n =
`(5)/(14)` or 5÷14.

Thus, the number of 14 pound patties made are
`(5)/(14)` or 5÷14.

Thus, Option B is correct.
