Question

kelly has 4 3/5 pounds of hamburger meat. she gives 2/3 of the hamburger meat to her friend mat. how many pounds of hamburger meat does matt get​

Answer 1

The amount of hamburguer meat Matt gets is 3.07 pounds.

Explanation:

In order to solve this question we first need to convert the amount of hamburguer meat Kelly has from a mixed fraction to a fraction, to do that we must sum the integer part to the the fraction part:

kelly = 4 + 3/5 = 20/5 + 3/5 = 23/5

She gave 2/3 of the hamburguer meat to Mat, therefore Mat's meat should be:

Mat = (2/3)*Kelly = (2/3)*(23/5) = 46/15 = 3.07 pounds

The amount of hamburguer meat Matt gets is 3.07 pounds.
