[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pound
We just need to divide [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pound by [tex]3[/tex] patties to find the answer.
Dividing by [tex]3[/tex] is the same thing as multiplying by [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex], so we will do that instead. We now just need to simplify [tex]\frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{3}[/tex].
First, multiply the numerators. [tex]3 * 1 = 3[/tex]
Next, multiply the denominators. [tex]4 * 3 = 12[/tex]
Now, simplify [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex] by dividing the numerator and denominator each by 3. [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pound is the answer, since it cannot be further simplified.
