Data:
• 2/5 lb per burger
,
• 2(2/3)lb of ground beef.
Procedure:
0. We have to convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction to be able to do any calculation. We will do it as follows:
[tex]2\cdot\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
Then, based on that, we can calculate how many burgers we get:
[tex]\frac{1burger}{\frac{2}{5}lb}\cdot\frac{8}{3}lbbeef[/tex][tex]=\frac{\frac{8}{3}}{\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{20}{3}\approx6.67[/tex]
Answer: 6 complete burgers
