sue buys 8.5 pounds of chicken to make tacos. she uses 0.3 pound of chicken. how many tacos can sue make? how many pounds of chicken are left over?

Answer 1

I assume you mean that she uses 0.3 pound in each taco.

8.5 / 0.3 = 28.33

She can make 28 tacos with 1/3 of a pound left over.

Answer 2

Actually, she can make 28 1/3 tacos.

Since a taco uses .3 lbs, there is just .1 lb left over.

Answer 3

28 tacos and 1/3 of a pound left

Answer 4

Isn't it 2/3 left over?

Answer 5

You just have to divide 8.5 by 0.3
It’s easy if you know how to divide decimals.
You turn the decimal into a fraction and then divide it! That’s what I do.
Answers: a) 28 tacos. b) 1/3 pounds or 0.33 pounds.
