dao has 2 3/8 pounds of hamburger meat. he is making 1/4 pound hamburgers. does dao have enough meat to make 10 hamburgers? explain.

Sagot :

FIrslty let's find the common denominator of 2 3/8 and 1/4:

2 3/8 = 19/8
1/4 = 2/8

Now we have to find out how many 2/8s will fit in one 19/8. To do that we can divide 19 by 2:

19/2 = 9,5

We can see that Dao will be able to make 9 humbergers, because he's still missing 1/8 of meat to do the 10th humberger..
