Answer: 41

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m rounding, the answer I got was 49, but I assume since it’s close that it would be the answer

Though I’ll go back and see if I missed a step real quick

Answer: A.   165

=================================================

Explanation:

Step one is to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

[tex]a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*b+c}{c}\\\\82 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{82*3+2}{3}\\\\82 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{248}{3}\\\\[/tex]

We'll divide that result by 1/2

[tex]\frac{248}{3} \div \frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{248}{3} \times \frac{2}{1}\\\\\frac{248\times 2}{3\times 1}\\\\\frac{496}{3}\\\\[/tex]

Dividing by 1/2 is the same as multiplying by 2.

Then use your calculator to find that

[tex]\frac{496}{3} \approx 165.333\\\\[/tex]

Ignore the stuff after the decimal point.

They can make 165 full burgers, and they'll have a bit of leftover meat (which unfortunately isn't enough to make the 166th burger).
