Respuesta :

Answer:

  26

Step-by-step explanation:

Justin will have a total of ...

  (4.8 lb)×3 = 14.4 lb

of meat. At 0.55 lb/hamburger, he can make ...

  (14.4 lb)/(0.55 lb/hamburger) ≈ 26.182 hamburgers

Justin can make 26 hamburgers.

26×0.55 lb = 14.3 lb, so Justin will have 0.1 lb of meat left over.
