A serving of porterhouse steak is generally considered to be about one half lb. How many servings can be prepared from 4one third lb of

Answer 1

So a serving size is 1/2 lb and the question wants to know how many servings are in 4 1/3 lbs. First, let's rewrite 4 1/3 as an improper fraction, so we'll multiply the bottom number by 4 and then add that number to the top. This will get us to 13/3. From here, we need to divide 13/3 by 1/2 to get the total number of servings. To do this, we will multiply 13/3 by 2 since when we divide by a fraction, the fraction will "flip". This gives us 26/3 or 8 2/3. Since you can't serve someone 2/3 of serving, we will round this to roughly 8 servings.
