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?
Answered by 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.

Answered by Steve
Actually, she can make 28 1/3 tacos.

Since a taco uses .3 lbs, there is just .1 lb left over.

28 tacos and 1/3 of a pound left
Answered by Quay
Isn't it 2/3 left over?
Answered by I am a student
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.
