Kate is making hamburgers for her friends and has 8 1/3 pounds of hamburger. How many 1/3 pounds hamburger can show make?
there are 3 burgers per pound, and 8 pounds, right?
so, 25 burgers in all
8 1/3 = 25/3
(25/3) / (1/3) = (25/3) * 3 = 75/3 = 25
To find out how many 1/3 pound hamburgers Kate can make, we need to divide the total weight of hamburger she has by the weight of each individual hamburger.
Given that Kate has 8 1/3 pounds of hamburger, we can convert this mixed number into an improper fraction:
8 1/3 = (8 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 25/3
Now, we can divide the total weight of hamburger (25/3) by the weight of each individual hamburger, which is 1/3 pound:
(25/3) / (1/3) = (25/3) * (3/1) = (25 * 3) / (3 * 1) = 75 / 3 = 25
Therefore, Kate can make 25 1/3 pound hamburgers with 8 1/3 pounds of hamburger.
