Approximately how many burgers can Paul make?

A. 3/4
b. 1/2
c.8
d.12

Answer 1

To find out how many turkey burgers Paul can make, you need to divide the total weight of the turkey by the weight of each burger.

Given:
- Total weight of turkey = 2.93 pounds
- Weight of each burger = 1/4 pound

Now, divide the total weight of turkey by the weight of each burger:

\[
\text{Number of burgers} = \frac{\text{Total weight of turkey}}{\text{Weight of each burger}} = \frac{2.93}{1/4} = 2.93 \times 4 = 11.72
\]

Since Paul can't make a fraction of a burger, he can make approximately 11 burgers.

So, rounding down, Paul can make approximately **11 burgers**.

Looking at the options you provided, it seems none of the choices directly list the number of burgers he can make. However, the closest choice to the calculated number of burgers is not present in the given options.
