Answer:
25 hamburgers
Explanation:
Kate is making hamburgers for her friends and has 8 1/3 pounds of hamburger. How many 1/3-pound hamburgers can she make
Solution:
Given that Kate has 8 1/3 pounds of hamburger and she wants to make various hamburgers of 1/3 pound each. To determine the number of hamburgers she can make, we just have to divide the pounds of hamburger (8 1/3 pounds) by the 1/3 pounds.
8 1/3 pounds = [(8*3) + 1] / 3 = (24 + 1) / 3 = 25/3 pounds of hamburger
Therefore:
Number of hamburgers she can make = (25/3 pounds) / (1/3 pound) = 25 hamburgers
