Respuesta :
do 15 1/8-1 3/5 so that is 13 21/40, then 13 21/40 divided by 5/16, so the answer is 48, because it is COMPLETE servings
Answer:
43
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- Initially, the ham weighed [tex]15 \frac{1}{8}lb[/tex], which is equivalent to[tex]\frac{121}{8}lb[/tex].
- After cooking and without bone, the ham weighed [tex]1\frac{3}{5} lb[/tex] less, which is equivalent to [tex]\frac{8}{5} lb[/tex].
To know the total amount of ham we have to serve, we need to subtract
[tex]\frac{121}{8}- \frac{8}{5}=\frac{605-64}{40}=\frac{541}{40}[/tex]
So, there is 541/40 pounds to serve.
If each serving has 5/16 pounds of the ham, then we need to divide this with the total pounds available, and that would give the total number of servings
[tex]\frac{541}{40} \div \frac{5}{16}=\frac{541}{40} \times \frac{16}{5}= \frac{8656}{200} \approx 43.28[/tex]
So, there are 43.28 possible serving. However, we need to round this to the integer because we cannot serve a uncomplete plate.
Therefore, she can provide 43 complete servings with 5/16 pounds of ham.
