Question

How many three quarter pound burgers can be made with twelve pounds of hamburger?

Answer 1

Answer:

$16\ burgers$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

n ----> the number of burgers

x ----> the total pounds of hamburger

we know that

To find out the number of burgers, divide the total pounds of hamburger by three quarter pound (3/4 lb)

we have

$x=12\ lb$

so

$n=\frac{12}{(3/4)}=\frac{48}{3}=16\ burgers$
