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?

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of slices to be eaten by a man who has restrictions on his diet.

Firstly, as we can see, he bought 3 which weighs a total of 1/3 pounds. The weight of one of this would be 1/3 divided by 3 = 1/9 pounds

Now to stay true to his weight by not exceeding 1/4, we need to know how many of the 1/9 can he eat. To solve this, we directly divide 1/9 by 1/4 = 1/4 divided by 1/9 = 2.25
