Question

A restaurant is making hamburgers. The cooks use 2/3 pound of beef hamburger if the cooks have 48 2/3 pounds of beef how many hamburgers can they make

Answer 1

The number of hamburger does the cook make is 73 hamburger .

Explanation:

Given as :

The quantity of beef use by cook to make hamburger=
`(2)/(3)` pound

The total quantity of beef does the cook have = 48
`(2)/(3)` pound

I.e The total quantity of beef does the cook have =
`(146)/(3)` pound

Let The number of hamburger does the cook make = n hamburger

Now, According to question

The number of hamburger does the cook make =
`(\textrm total quantity of beef does cook have)/(\textrm total quantity of beef required for hamburger)`

Or, n =
`((146)/(3))/((2)/(3))`

Or, n =
`(146* 3)/(2* 3)`

∴ n = 73

So,The number of hamburger does the cook make = n = 73 hamburger

Hence,The number of hamburger does the cook make is 73 hamburger . Answer
