Answer:
[tex]1\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a restaurant uses 8 1/4 pounds of carrots to make 6 carrots cakes.
To find the amount of carrots used to make one cake, we will divide 8 1/4 by 6.
[tex]8\frac{1}{4}\div 6[/tex]
Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction:
[tex]8\frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow \frac{8\times 4+1}{4}=\frac{32+1}{4}=\frac{33}{4}[/tex]
[tex]8\frac{1}{4}\div 6\Rightarrow\frac{33}{4}\div 6[/tex]
Convert to multiplication problem:
[tex]\frac{33}{4}\div \frac{6}{1}=\frac{33}{4}\times\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{33}{4}\div \frac{6}{1}=\frac{11}{4}\times\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{33}{4}\div \frac{6}{1}=\frac{11}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{33}{4}\div \frac{6}{1}=1\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Therefore, Frank needs [tex]1\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pounds of carrots to make one carrot cake.
