Question

A restaurant is making hamburgers. The cooks use 2/3 pound of beef hamburger if the cooks have 48 2/3 pounds of beef how many hamburgers can they make

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of hamburger does the cook make is 73 hamburger .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The quantity of beef use by cook to make hamburger= $\dfrac{2}{3}$ pound

The total quantity of beef does the cook have = 48 $\dfrac{2}{3}$ pound

I.e The total quantity of beef does the cook have = $\dfrac{146}{3}$ pound

Let The number of hamburger does the cook make = n hamburger

Now, According to question

The number of hamburger does the cook make = $\dfrac{\textrm total quantity of beef does cook have}{\textrm total quantity of beef required for hamburger}$

Or, n = $\frac{\frac{146}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}$

Or, n = $\frac{146\times 3}{2\times 3}$

∴   n = 73

So,The number of hamburger does the cook make = n = 73 hamburger

Hence,The number of hamburger does the cook make is 73 hamburger . Answer
