Question:

The Whispering Lakes  Neighborhood Association is  having a hamburger cookout.  Each family can choose whether  to order the hamburgers or  bring their own. Use the  information in the table to solve  the number stories. Use  drawings, tables, or equations  to show what you did.

Mrs. Ward found 80-ounce packages of hamburger on sale. If she needs to make  2 of each size hamburger, how many packages of meat will she need to buy?

The number of meat packages is

100/80 = 1.25 = 5/4

Assuming that the number of packages cannot be in fraction, then she would need at least 2 packages of meat.

Number of meat packages = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached table where we are given size of hamburgers and the weight of corresponding hamburger patty in pounds.

small = 1/8 lb

medium = 1/4 lb

large = 1/2 lb

jumbo = 3/4 lb

king of burgers = 1 1/2 lb = 3/2 lb

To make 1 of each hamburger we need

Total weight of patty = 1/8 + 1/4 + 1/2 + 3/4 + 3/2

Total weight of patty = 25/8 = 3.125 lb

But she needs to make  2 of each size hamburger so,

Total weight of patty = (25/8)×2 = 25/4 = 6.25 lb

Mrs. Ward found 80-ounce packages of hamburger on sale

first we have to convert pounds into ounces

We know that 1 pound has 16 ounces

6.25×16 = 100 ounces

So the number of meat packages required is

100/80 = 1.25 = 5/4

Assuming that the number of packages cannot be in fraction, then she would need at least 2 packages of meat.

Number of meat packages = 2

answer: the answer is 127 degrees
