Question

A man is on a diet and goes into a shop to buy some turkey slices. He is given 3 slices which together weigh 1/3 of a pound but his diet says that he is only allowed to eat 1/4 of a pound.

How many of the 3 slices he bought can he eat while staying true to his diet?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4 part

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 pound = 3 slices

1 pound = 3×3 = 9 slices

he is allowed to eat =1/4 *9 = 9/4 slices

= 2.25 slices

he should eat = 2.25/3 * 100

= 75% of the 3 slices

= 3/4 part of 3 slices .
