Hamburger Heaven is having a lunch special where customers buy one 3/4 pound cheeseburger and get one free. If they set aside 61 1/3 pounds of meat how many 3/4 pound cheeseburgers can they make?

1 answer

To find the number of cheeseburgers they can make, we need to divide the total amount of meat by the weight of one cheeseburger.

Let's convert 61 1/3 pounds of meat to an improper fraction: 61 1/3 = (3 * 61 + 1)/3 = 184/3.

Now, let's divide 184/3 by 3/4 to find the number of cheeseburgers they can make: (184/3) / (3/4) = (184/3) * (4/3) = (184*4)/(3*3) = 736/9.

Therefore, Hamburger Heaven can make 736/9 cheeseburgers.
