A serving of filleted fish is generally considered to be lb. How many servings can be
prepared from
lb of flounder fillet?

Answer 1

Answer: There are several ways to solve this. If 1 serving = 1/4 pound, then 4 servings = 1 pound. 6 pounds *4=24 servings. That leaves 1/3 of a pound. 1/4 pound is less than 1/3 pound, so you get one more serving. That makes 25 servings, and 1/12 of a pound leftover. How do you know it is 1/12? Well, LCD (lowest common denominator) shows that 1/3-1/4= 4/12-3/12=1/12.

Step-by-step explanation: may not help but I hope it will.
