Answer 2

`Weigh\ of\ each\ hamburger\ patty\ is (1)/(4)\ lbs`

Explanation:

As given

`Ivana\ has\ (3)/(4)\ lbs\ of\ hamburger\ meat.`

she makes 3 hamburger patties.

Each patty weighs the same amount.

Thus

`Weigh\ of\ each\ hamburger\ patty = (Total\ amount\ of\ hamburger\ meat)/(Total\ number\ of\ hamburger)`

Putting the values in the above

`Weigh\ of\ each\ hamburger\ patty = ((3)/(4))/(3)`

`Weigh\ of\ each\ hamburger\ patty = (1)/(4)\ lbs`

`Therefore\ weigh\ of\ each\ hamburger\ patty\ is (1)/(4)\ lbs`
