Question

Brooke cooked a 4/1/3-pound lasagna in 1/1/3 hours. How many hours per pound did it take to cook the lasagna?

Answer 1

4/13 hours

Explanation:

Total pounds of lasagna = 4 1/3 pounds

Total time taken to cook = 1 1/3 hours

How many hours per pound did it take to cook the lasagna?

Hours per pound of lasagna = Total time taken to cook / Total pounds of lasagna

= 1 1/3 hours ÷ 4 1/3 pounds

= 4/3 ÷ 13/3

= 4/3 × 3/13

= 4/13 hours

It will take 4/13 hours to cook each pound of the lasagna
