write and solve a division equation to find the number of 1/3 pound hamburger patties that can be made from 4 pound of ground beef.

Answer 1

4lbs of ground beef/(1/3 patties) -> 4/(1/3) = 4*3 = 12 patties can be made

Answer 2

-First write this equation as a division equation.

4/1 % 1/3 (Put 4 over 1 to make a fraction.)

-Next, you must rewrite the equation using multiplication by flipping the second fraction.

4/1 * 3/1

-Now you can solve the equation.

4/1 * 3/1 = 12/1 or 12

Answer is 12 hamburger patties can be made.
