Question

Ivana has 3/4 pound of hamburger meat. She makes 3 hamburger patties. Each party weighs the same amount . How much does each hamburger patty weigh

Answer 1

If she wants to make identical patties, they have to all weight the same amount. Therefore, she must split the 3/4 pounds in three.
So you want to do 3/4 divided by 3 which is the same thing as (3/4) x (1/3)
You multiply the numerators and denominators and get 3/12
You then want to simplify and get 1/4 pounds

Answer 2

Answer: Each hamburger patty weighs 1/4 pounds.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to divide the total amount of meat used for the hamburger patties (3/4 pounds) by the number of hamburger patties made (3).

Mathematically speaking:

3/4 ÷ 3 = 1/4 pounds

Each hamburger patty weighs 1/4 pounds.
