A chef has a 2 3/8 pound salmon filet. He slices the filet into 4 oz servings. How many pounds is each serving? How many 4-oz servings can the chef create from the filet. How many ounces of salmon are left over?

B)

9 servings :)

b:

9 servings

c is not 9 i tried it 5 times

WHAT IS C?!!!

To find out how many pounds is each serving, we need to convert 4 ounces to pounds.

There are 16 ounces in a pound, so to convert 4 ounces to pounds, we divide by 16.

4 ounces / 16 = 0.25 pounds

Therefore, each serving is 0.25 pounds.

Next, we need to find out how many 4-ounce servings can the chef make from the 2 3/8 pound salmon filet.

To do this, we divide the total weight of the filet by the weight of each serving.

The total weight of the filet is 2 3/8 pounds. We can convert this mixed number to an improper fraction:

2 3/8 = (8 * 2 + 3) / 8 = 19/8

Now we divide 19/8 by 0.25 (the weight of each serving):

(19/8) / 0.25 = 19/8 * 4/1 = 76/8 = 9.5

This means the chef can create 9.5 servings from the filet. Since we can't have half of a serving, we round down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, the chef can create 9 servings from the filet.

Finally, to find out how many ounces of salmon are left over, we need to subtract the total weight of the servings from the total weight of the filet.

The total weight of the servings is 9 servings * 4 ounces/serving = 36 ounces.

To convert 36 ounces to pounds, we divide by 16:

36 ounces / 16 = 2.25 pounds.

So, there are 2.25 pounds of salmon left over.

16 ounces in a pound. 4/16 = 1/4 pound

2 3/8 = 19/8

(19/8) / 1/4)

(19/8) * 4 = ?

Ounces left over?
