If a chef uses 200 grams of ground beef to make one hamburger patty, how many patties can he make from a 5 kilogram package of ground beef. I believe the answer would be 25 patties, but not too sure how I got that answer and if it's correct
1 kg = 1,000 g
5 kg = 5,000 g
5,000 / 200 = 25
You're right!
To determine how many hamburger patties can be made from a 5-kilogram package of ground beef, you need to use a conversion factor to convert from grams to kilograms.
First, convert the package weight from kilograms to grams. Since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram, multiply the weight in kilograms by 1000:
5 kilograms * 1000 = 5000 grams.
Next, divide the total package weight in grams by the amount of ground beef used per patty:
5000 grams / 200 grams/patty = 25 patties.
So, your calculation is correct. You can make 25 hamburger patties from a 5-kilogram package of ground beef.
