Dao has 2 and 3/8pounds of hamburger meat he is making 1/ 4 pound of hamburgers does doa have enough meat to make ten pounds
He certainly does not have enough meat to make 10 pounds. He only has 2 3/8 pound.
To determine if Dao has enough meat to make ten pounds of hamburgers, we need to compare the amount of meat he has (2 3/8 pounds) with the amount required per pound of hamburgers (1/4 pound).
First, let's convert the mixed fraction 2 3/8 pounds to an improper fraction. Multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator, we get 19/8 pounds.
Now, we need to find out how many 1/4 pound hamburgers can be made from 19/8 pounds of meat. We can do this by dividing the amount of meat (19/8 pounds) by the amount needed per hamburger (1/4 pound).
To divide fractions, we invert the divisor (1/4 pound) and multiply it by the dividend (19/8 pounds):
(19/8 pounds) * (4/1 pound) = 76/8 pounds
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
76/8 pounds = 9 1/2 pounds
So, Dao has enough meat to make 9 1/2 pounds of hamburgers, which is less than the required ten pounds. Therefore, he does not have enough meat to make ten pounds of hamburgers.
