Question

Ryan is making small meat loaves. Each small meat loaf uses 3/4 pound of meat. How much meat does Ryan need to make 8 small meat loaves.

Answer 1

Ryan will need 6 pounds of meatloaf. If you want to know how I got my answer, my work along with the answer will be shown below:

3/4 pound=1 small meatloaf

*Multiply 3/4 pound by 8 because he wants to make 8 small meat loaves, or just add 3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4*.

#1 way (recommended): 3/4*8/1=24/4....=6 pounds
#2 way: 3/4+3/4=6/4+3/4=9/4+3/4=12/4+3/4=15/4+3/4=18/4+3/4=21/4+3/4=24/4=6 pounds

I hope this helps! Let me know if you still need help!
