Question

Manny bought 6 pounds of ground beef to make burgers for his Super

Bowl party. Each burger patty uses 2/3 of a pound. How many burgers can
he make?

Answer 1

9 burgers

Explanation:

total amount of beef = 6 lbs

amount of beef in each patty = 2/3 lb

number of burgers = total amount of beef ÷ amount of beef in each patty

= 6 ÷ 2/3

= 6 x 3/2

= 9
