Answer
Find out the how many whole servings will be provided .
To prove
Let us assume that the number of servings be x.
As given
A caterer prepared a turkey that weighed \(27 \frac{1}{2}\) pounds.
i.e A caterer prepared a turkey that weighed \(\frac{55}{2}\)pounds.
Each serving of turkey will be \(\frac{1}{3}\) pound.
Than the equation becomes in the form
\(\frac{1\times x}{3} = \frac{55}{2}\)
\(x = \frac{55\times 3}{2}\)
\(x = \frac{165}{2}\)
x =82.5
Therefore the number of servings will be provided be 82.
