First, let's determine how much ground turkey Amy uses to make the six meatballs.
She uses \( \frac{3}{8} \) pound of ground turkey per meatball.
For six meatballs, the total amount of ground turkey used is: \[ 6 \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{18}{8} = \frac{9}{4} \text{ pounds} \]
Now, we need to find out how much ground turkey she has left after making the six meatballs. Amy started with 3 pounds of ground turkey.
The remaining amount of ground turkey is: \[ 3 - \frac{9}{4} \]
To perform this subtraction, we can convert 3 pounds to a fraction with a denominator of 4: \[ 3 = \frac{12}{4} \]
Now we can subtract: \[ \frac{12}{4} - \frac{9}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \text{ pounds} \]
Next, we want to determine how many 1/8 pound meatballs she can make with the remaining \( \frac{3}{4} \) pound of turkey.
To find this, we divide \( \frac{3}{4} \) pound by \( \frac{1}{8} \) pound: \[ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{3 \times 8}{4 \times 1} = \frac{24}{4} = 6 \]
So, Amy can make 6 additional meatballs, each weighing \( \frac{1}{8} \) pound, with the remaining ground turkey.
