He can make 128 burgers

Answer:

128 hamburgers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jon is making hamburgers for a church lunch.

He is using [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] pound of beef in one hamburger.

He has the total amount of beef =  [tex]42\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pounds

                                             = [tex]\frac{128}{3}[/tex]

Since in one hamburger he use beef =  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] pound

[tex]\frac{128}{3}[/tex] pounds of ground beef is used in = [tex]\frac{\frac{128}{3} }{\frac{1}{3} }[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{128}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{384}{3}[/tex]

= 128 hamburgers

Jon can make 128 hamburgers using all the ground beef.
