Rose uses 1/8 pound of beef for each taco she makes. if she wants to make 12 tacos, how much beef will she need
1/8 * 12 = ?
1/8 x 12 = 1/96 Lbs of beef. Rose will need 1/96 lbs of beef
To find out how much beef Rose will need to make 12 tacos, we can multiply the amount of beef used per taco by the number of tacos she wants to make.
Rose uses 1/8 pound of beef for each taco. So, to find out how much beef she will need for 12 tacos, we need to multiply 1/8 by 12.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1/8 pound per taco * 12 tacos
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(1 * 12) / (8)
The numerator becomes 1 * 12 = 12:
12 / 8
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
12 ÷ 4 = 3
8 ÷ 4 = 2
So, Rose will need 3/2 pounds of beef to make 12 tacos. This can be simplified further:
3/2 = 1 1/2
Therefore, Rose will need 1 1/2 pounds of beef to make 12 tacos.
