To find out how many hamburger patties Jose can make, we need to divide the amount of ground beef he has (2/3 of a pound) by the weight of each patty (1/9 of a pound).
2/3 ÷ 1/9
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
2/3 × 9/1
Multiplying across the numerators and denominators, we get:
18/3
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
6
Therefore, Jose can make 6 hamburger patties.
The answer is C. 6 patties.
