Question

How many three quarter pound burgers can be made with twelve pounds of hamburger?

Answer 1

`16\ burgers`

Explanation:

Let

n ----> the number of burgers

x ----> the total pounds of hamburger

we know that

To find out the number of burgers, divide the total pounds of hamburger by three quarter pound (3/4 lb)

we have

`x=12\ lb`

so

`n=(12)/((3/4))=(48)/(3)=16\ burgers`
