Practice makes perfect
We are told that Luis has 3 pounds of ground turkey and that he uses 38 pound per burger to make 6 burgers. We want to know how many 14-pound burgers he can make with the remaining turkey.
Number of 14-pound burgers= ?
First, let's calculate how much of the ground turkey is left after Luis made six 38-pound burgers.
Amount of Ground Turkey Left
We will start by calculating the amount of ground turkey needed to make the six 38-pound burgers. To do this, we will multiply 38 by 6.
We found that Luis used 94 pounds of ground turkey to make the 6 burgers. Next, let's subtract 94 from the initial amount of ground turkey, 3 pounds, to calculate how much ground turkey he has left.
3-9/4
Let's write the number 3 as a fraction. Recall that we can only subtract fractions that have the same denominator.
We found that Luis has 34 pound of ground turkey left to make 14-pound burgers.
Number of 14-Pound Burgers
Let's calculate the following quotient to find how many 14-pound burgers Luis can make.
3/4Ă·1/4
To divide by the fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal.
3/4Ă·1/4=3/4*4/1
Let's multiply the fractions!
