Question

To make 16 hamburger patties that each weigh 1/3 pound, you need 16/3 pounds of beef. Write 16/3 as a mixed number.

Answer 1

The answer would be 5 1/3.

solution:

if you were to divide 16 and 3, you wouldn’t have an exact whole number to divide it by. The closet would be 5. 5x3= 15 with a remainder of 1. You take the denominator and make it 1/3. Now, you have your whole number 5 and fraction 1/3. That would mean the answer is 5 1/3

Answer 2

Explanation:

fraction=division

16÷3= 5 R1
