Data:

• 2/5 lb per burger

,

• 2(2/3)lb of ground beef.

Procedure:

0. We have to convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction to be able to do any calculation. We will do it as follows:


2\cdot(2)/(3)=(8)/(3)

Then, based on that, we can calculate how many burgers we get:


(1burger)/((2)/(5)lb)\cdot(8)/(3)lbbeef
=((8)/(3))/((2)/(5))=(20)/(3)\approx6.67

Answer: 6 complete burgers
