Answer 1

Answer: 459 cheeseburgers

Explanation:

To find out the number of cheeseburgers that can be made, divide the amount of meat set aside by the amount of meat it takes to make one cheeseburger.

The amount of meat they have is:

= 114²/₃

= 344/3

Number of cheeseburgers is:

= 344/3 ÷ 1/4

= 344/3 * 4/1

= 1,376 / 3

= 458.67

= 459 cheeseburgers
