Answer: Paul can make 12burgers. The answer is that 12 turkey burgers can be made with 2.93 pounds of turkey.

There are 2.93 pounds of turkey and each burger will take 1/4 pounds out of this.

The number of burgers that can be made is therefore:

= Pounds of turkey available / Requirement per burger

= 2.93 ÷ 1/4

= 2.93 x 4/1

= 11.72

= 12 burgers

In conclusion, Paul can make 12 burgers.

hope that helps

Answer:

11

Explanation:

You want to know the number of 1/4 pound burgers Paul can make from 2.93 pounds of turkey.

Burgers

If n is the number of 1/4-pound burgers Paul makes, the amount of turkey he requires is (1/4)n pounds. The given constraint is ...

(1/4)n ≤ 2.93

n ≤ 2.93(4) = 11.72

Paul can make 11 burgers from the turkey he has.
