Question

Jasmine has 3 and 3/8 pound of Turkey meat she is making 1/3 pound Turkey burgers does Jasmine have enough meat to make 12 Turkey burgers

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this you have to divide 3 and 3/8 by 1/3.  The easiest way to do this without a calculator is to do this separately.  First divide 3 by 1/3.  When dividing fractions, the second number is flipped upside down and the two numbers are multiplied.  From 3 pounds, Jasmine will be able to make nine 1/3 pound burgers.

3 ÷ 1/3 = 3 × 3/1 = 9

Next, divide 3/8 by 1/3.  From 3/8 pounds, Jasmine will be able to make 1 1/8 burgers

3/8 ÷ 1/3 = 3/8 × 3/1 = 9/8 = 1 1/8

Add the two numbers together.

9 + 1 1/8 = 10 1/8

This is less than 12.
