To solve this, you would multiply 2 3/8 by 1/4, which is the same thing as dividing by 4. Without a calculator to divide, we must first turn 2 3/8 into an improper fraction. To do this we multiply the whole number of 2 by the denominator of 8 and add the product of 16 to the numerator of 3, which would get us with 19/8 x 1/4. The product would be 19/32, the pounds that each serving weighs.

Answer:

Each serving will weigh 0.25 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chef has a [tex]2\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pounds of salmon filet Which equals to [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] pounds.

He slices the filet into 4 ounce servings.

Since 16 ounces = 1 pound

Therefore, 1 ounce = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] pound

and 4 ounces = [tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex] pound

                       = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pound

Therefore, each serving will weigh 0.25 pounds.
