Answer:
The expression [tex]\dfrac{4}{(1/4)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Each patty weighs [tex]$\frac{1}{4}$[/tex] of a pound, this means that one pound of ground meat makes 4 patties. Therefore, 4 pounds of ground meat will make 4 × 4 = 16 patties.
Another way to think about this is the following: one patty uses [tex]$\frac{1}{4}$[/tex] of a pound of ground meat; Therefore, to find out how many patties will 4 pounds make we just divide 4 pounds by pounds of meat each patty takes:
[tex]\dfrac{4\:lb}{(1/4)lb/patty} = 16\:patties[/tex]
Therefore, the expression [tex]\dfrac{4}{(1/4)}[/tex] can be used to find the number of patties, and 4 pounds of ground meat make 16 patties.
