Answer:
26 hamburgers can be made
Step-by-step explanation:
Below is my work, but I'll explain here.
1) make an equation. We know the total is [tex]8\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pounds and each hamburger requires [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] pounds.
2) make the fractions easy to read. turn the [tex]8\frac{2}{3}[/tex] into [tex]\frac{26}{3}[/tex] by multiplying 8 and 3 then adding 2 to the product.
3) Solve for x! Once you have [tex]\frac{1}{3} x = \frac{26}{3}[/tex], divide [tex]\frac{26}{3}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]. You should get 26.
4) (optional) check your work by multiplying [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] with 26. You should get [tex]\frac{26}{3}[/tex].
**Hope this helps!
