If all of the people that live in your home bought one 360 pound hamburger from Mallie’s Sports Grill and ate 2/3 pound servings
each every evening for dinner (and could keep it so that it wouldn’t become spoiled), how many days would your family be eating hamburger? # of people in household # days

We have 4 people in our home so total bought 360 pounds of hamburger each ate 2/3 pound every day so 360-(amount eaten per day) times (number of days)=0 (0 because we want it to be gone) number of days=x unknown amount eaten per day=(number of people) times (amount eaten per person per day) amount eaten per day=4 times 2/3 lb=8/3 360-8/3 times x=0 360-8/3x=0 add 8/3x to both sides 360=8/3x multiply both sides by 3/8 1080/8=x 135=x it would take 135 days or about 4 months or 1/3 year, assuming that my family doesn't get tired of it and that my reletives don't visit and take a whole bunch to bring home.
