Question
sue buys 8.5 pounds of chicken to make tacos. she uses 0.3 pound of chicken. how many tacos can sue make? how many pounds of chicken are left over?
Answers
Ms. Sue
I assume you mean that she uses 0.3 pound in each taco.
8.5 / 0.3 = 28.33
She can make 28 tacos with 1/3 of a pound left over.
8.5 / 0.3 = 28.33
She can make 28 tacos with 1/3 of a pound left over.

Actually, she can make 28 1/3 tacos.
Since a taco uses .3 lbs, there is just .1 lb left over.
Since a taco uses .3 lbs, there is just .1 lb left over.

You just have to divide 8.5 by 0.3
It’s easy if you know how to divide decimals.
You turn the decimal into a fraction and then divide it! That’s what I do.
Answers: a) 28 tacos. b) 1/3 pounds or 0.33 pounds.
