Answer:
Mr. Fulton can make 50 hamburgers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total amount of ground beef = [tex]12\frac{1}{2} \ pounds[/tex]
[tex]12\frac{1}{2}[/tex] can be Rewritten as [tex]\frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Total amount of ground beef = [tex]\frac{25}{2}\ pounds[/tex]
Amount of beef used for each hamburger = [tex]\frac{1}{4}\ pound[/tex]
We need to find the number of hamburgers could he make.
Solution:
Now we can say that;
number of hamburgers can be calculated by Total amount of ground beef divided by Amount of beef used for each hamburger.
framing in equation form we get;
number of hamburgers = [tex]\frac{\frac{25}{2}}{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{25}{2}\times \frac{4}{1} = 50[/tex]
Hence Mr. Fulton can make 50 hamburgers.
