Question

Hamburger Heaven is having a lunch special where customers buy one 3/4 -pound cheeseburger and get one free. If they set aside 37 1/3 pounds of meat, how many 3/4-pound cheeseburgers can they make?

Answer 1

49 hamburgers

Answer 2

49 hamburguers (of 3/4 pound)

Explanation:

3/4 pound is equal to 0.75 pound

37 1/3 pounds of meat is equal to

37 + 1/3 pound = 37.3333 pounds

To find how much hamburguers can be made, we need to divide

37.3333 pounds/ 0.75 pounds

37.3333 pounds/ 0.75 pounds = 49.777777

(We need to round to the lowest number)

This means that 49 hamburguers could be made
