Question

You need 9 9/16 lb of chicken. The store sells chicken in half pound quantities. How much chicken should you order? Explain

Answer 1

Is 9/16 more or less than a half pound? If it's less, then order 9 1/2 pounds. If it's more, order 10 pounds.

Answer 2

9 9/16 ÷ 1/2 = 19 1/8

so you will have to buy 20 chickens , since 19 will not be enough

Answer 3

That would be 20 half-pound chickens , should read more carefully.
