Answer:
\(\frac{1}{4}\) pound
Explanation:
We just need to divide \(\frac{3}{4}\) pound by \(3\) patties to find the answer.
Dividing by \(3\) is the same thing as multiplying by \(\frac{1}{3}\), so we will do that instead. We now just need to simplify \(\frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{3}\).
First, multiply the numerators. \(3 * 1 = 3\)
Next, multiply the denominators. \(4 * 3 = 12\)
Now, simplify \(\frac{3}{12}\) by dividing the numerator and denominator each by 3. \(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) pound is the answer, since it cannot be further simplified.
