You bought 5 pounds of hamburger meat, and you want to make quarter pounders (each weigh .25 of a pound). How many quarter pounders can you make? Show your work and explain your reasoning. Katie’s answer: To determine how many .25 pound burgers I can make, I have to divide 5 by .25. The quotient of 5 divided by .25 will tell me how many groups of .25 there are in 5. I followed the procedure to divide and my quotient is 2, so I can make exactly 2 quarter pound burgers with 5 pounds of meat. 0.25 5.0 = 25 50 Is Katie correct? If not, what was her mistake? Justify your answer

Katy is wrong because 5 divided by .25 is 20. 20 quarter pounders can be made.
