Answer:
4[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pounds of chicken
Step-by-step explanation:
To make the 7 a fraction we put a one under it. Then we multiple the tops of the two fractions together and the bottom two numbers of the fraction together:
[tex]\frac{7}{1} X \frac{5}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{35}{8}[/tex]
Finally, we simplify the improper fraction into a mixed number:
4[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Answer:
chicken needed = 4 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
There will be 7 people at a party and each person will eat 5/8 of a pound of chicken.
To find chicken needed
one person needed = 5/8
total people = 7
Therefore total chicken needed = 7*5/8 = 35/8 = 4 3/8
therefore the correct answer is 4 3/6
