Question

The line plot shows the weights of packages of meat that members of the cycling club purchased. The meat will be mixed with vegetables to make stew for a club dinner.

4/8 has two dots
6/8 has one dot
1 has three dots
1 2/8 has one dot
If each serving of the stew will contain 1/4 pound of meat, how many servings of the stew can the club make?

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find out how many servings of stew the club can make, we need to first add up the total weight of the packages of meat purchased by the cycling club.

4/8 + 4/8 + 6/8 + 1 + 1 + 1 2/8 =
8/8 + 6/8 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 2/8 =
15 2/8

To convert 15 2/8 to a mixed number, we can simplify it to 16 1/4 pounds.

Since each serving of the stew contains 1/4 pound of meat, the cycling club can make:

16 1/4 ÷ 1/4 = 16 servings of stew.
