Question

Can u help me understand the answer this is kinda confusing to me??

Answer 1

6 1/4 pounds

Explanation:

he has 7 1/2 pounds of meatballs

he cooks 1 1/4 pounds

convert 7 1/2 to fourths

1/2 x 2/2

7 2/4

then subtract the amount he used from the total amount

7 2/4 - 1 1/4

6 1/4

that is how much he had left over, or how much he froze

Answer 2

If he has 7 1/2 pounds of meatballs he wants to cook 1 1/4 of them so subtract that and the answer you get is how many pounds he froze which is how many he also has left
