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 taco ---- 1*(1/8)
2 tacos ---- 2*(1/8)
...
12 tacos --- ??
12tacos * (1/8) Lb/taco = 12/8 = 1.5 Lbs.
To find out how much beef Rose will need to make 12 tacos, we can multiply the amount of beef used for each taco by the number of tacos.
First, we need to determine how much beef is used for each taco. According to the information provided, Rose uses 1/8 pound of beef for each taco.
Next, we multiply the amount of beef used per taco (1/8 pound) by the number of tacos (12 tacos):
1/8 pound per taco * 12 tacos = 12/8 pounds
Simplifying the fraction 12/8, we get:
12/8 = 3/2 = 1 1/2 pounds
Therefore, Rose will need 1 1/2 pounds of beef to make 12 tacos.
