Question:
The Whispering Lakes Neighborhood Association is having a hamburger cookout. Each family can choose whether to order the hamburgers or bring their own. Use the information in the table to solve the number stories. Use drawings, tables, or equations to show what you did.
Mrs. Ward found 80-ounce packages of hamburger on sale. If she needs to make 2 of each size hamburger, how many packages of meat will she need to buy?
Answer:
The number of meat packages is
100/80 = 1.25 = 5/4
Assuming that the number of packages cannot be in fraction, then she would need at least 2 packages of meat.
Number of meat packages = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the attached table where we are given size of hamburgers and the weight of corresponding hamburger patty in pounds.
small = 1/8 lb
medium = 1/4 lb
large = 1/2 lb
jumbo = 3/4 lb
king of burgers = 1 1/2 lb = 3/2 lb
To make 1 of each hamburger we need
Total weight of patty = 1/8 + 1/4 + 1/2 + 3/4 + 3/2
Total weight of patty = 25/8 = 3.125 lb
But she needs to make 2 of each size hamburger so,
Total weight of patty = (25/8)×2 = 25/4 = 6.25 lb
Mrs. Ward found 80-ounce packages of hamburger on sale
first we have to convert pounds into ounces
We know that 1 pound has 16 ounces
6.25×16 = 100 ounces
So the number of meat packages required is
100/80 = 1.25 = 5/4
Assuming that the number of packages cannot be in fraction, then she would need at least 2 packages of meat.
Number of meat packages = 2
