Rory has 3 pounds of ground beef to make meatballs. He uses 3/8 pound per meatball to make 7 meatballs. How many 1/8-pound meatballs can rory make with the remaining beef

Respuesta :

So if Rory already uses 3/8 of the meat ball meat we can subtract 3-3/8, which equals 2 5/8.

Now we can just divide 2 5/8 by 1/8, to find how many 1/8 pound meatballs Rory can make.

21/8 / 1/8 = 21

Rory can make 21, 1/8 pound meatballs.

I hope this helps!

The answer is 21 meatballs

Rory has 3 pounds of ground beef to make meatballs

He uses 3/8 pound per meatball to make 7 meatballs

We have to subtract 3/8 from 3

= 3 - 3/8

= 21/8

There are 21/8 pounds of ground beef left

Therefore the number of 1/8 pound meatball that can be produced from 21/8 pounds of ground beef can be calculated as follows;

= 21/8 ÷ 1/8

= 21

Hence Rory can make 21 meatballs
