To express 1 3/8 pounds of salad as a rational number, you'll want to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
1. First, multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (8):
\(1 \times 8 = 8\)
2. Next, add the numerator (3) to this result:
\(8 + 3 = 11\)
3. Now, write this sum over the original denominator (8):
\(\frac{11}{8}\)
So, 1 3/8 pounds can be expressed as the rational number \(\frac{11}{8}\).
