a chef uses 5 2/5 pounds of ground beef to make a hamburger and 2 1/4 pounds of ground beef to make meatloaf. the ground beef comes in 1/2 pound packages. how many packages of ground beef are needed to make hamburgers and meatloaf?

Sagot :

Answer:

16 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

5 2/5 + 2 1/4  Use the common denominator of 20

5 8/20 + 2 5/20  

7  13/20

I know that I will need 14 packages for the 7 pounds.  For the fraction part, 10/20 would be half, so I would need to buy a half pound for that, but I need 13/20 which would be more than a half pound, so I will need to buy 2 more pounds for the fraction part.

14 + 2 = 16
