Sue buys 8.5 pounds of chicken to make tacos. She uses 0.3 pound of chicken for each taco. How many tacos can sue make?
8.5 / 0.3 = 28 tacos
To find out how many tacos Sue can make with 8.5 pounds of chicken, we need to divide the total weight of the chicken by the amount of chicken used per taco.
1. Calculate the number of tacos using the formula: Number of tacos = Total weight of chicken / Amount of chicken per taco
Given that Sue buys 8.5 pounds of chicken and uses 0.3 pounds of chicken for each taco, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Number of tacos = 8.5 pounds / 0.3 pounds
Perform the division:
Number of tacos = 28.3333...
Since you can't have a fraction of a taco, we should round down to the nearest whole number.
Number of tacos = 28
Therefore, Sue can make 28 tacos with 8.5 pounds of chicken.
