[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find out how many 3/8 pound packages Katya can make with the block of fudge that weighs 13/16 pound, we need to divide the weight of the fudge block by the weight of each package.

(13/16) ÷ (3/8)

First, we need to convert the fractions to have a common denominator:

(13/16) ÷ (6/16)

Now we can divide:

13 ÷ 6 = 2 with a remainder of 1

So, Katya can make 2 whole packages of 3/8 pound fudge, with 1/6 of a pound leftover.
