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}27

2

1

pounds.

i.e A caterer prepared a turkey that weighed \frac{55}{2}

2

55

pounds.

Each serving of turkey will be \frac{1}{3}

3

1

pound.

Than the equation becomes in the form

\frac{1\times x}{3} = \frac{55}{2}

3

1×x

=

2

55

x = \frac{55\times 3}{2}x=

2

55×3

x = \frac{165}{2}x=

2

165

x =82.5

Therefore the number of servings will be provided be 82.
