Jamal buys 3.75 pounds of ground turkey at the grocery store. He uses \( \frac{2}{3} \) of the turkey to make chili. He divides the remaining turkey into 5 pieces to make turkey patties. How many pounds of ground turkey does Jamal use for each patty? Write your answer as a whole number, decimal, fraction, or mixed number. Simplify any fractions. Submit

First, let's determine how much ground turkey Jamal uses for chili. He buys 3.75 pounds and uses \( \frac{2}{3} \) of it for chili. Calculating that gives us: \[ \frac{2}{3} \times 3.75 = \frac{2 \times 3.75}{3} = \frac{7.5}{3} = 2.5 \, \text{pounds} \] Now, we subtract this amount from the total to find out how much turkey is left: \[ 3.75 - 2.5 = 1.25 \, \text{pounds} \] Next, Jamal divides the remaining 1.25 pounds into 5 pieces. To find the weight of each turkey patty, we divide 1.25 by 5: \[ \frac{1.25}{5} = 0.25 \, \text{pounds} \] So, each patty weighs 0.25 pounds, which is equivalent to \( \frac{1}{4} \) of a pound.
