Kate is making hamburgers for her friends and has 8 1/3 pounds of hamburger. How many 1/3-pound hamburgers can she make?

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, we want to figure out how many times 1/3 goes into 8 1/3, so we use division.

convert 8 1/3 into an improper fraction

8 1/3 = (3 * 8 + 1) / 3 = 25/3

we use 25/3 for the numerator and 1/3 for the denominator

so the number of hamburgers she can make is

(25/3) / (1/3)

= (25 / 3) * 3 the 3's cancel out

= 25 hamburgers
