Turkey diet fraction

A man is on a diet and buys turkey slices at the store. He will receive three slices that together weigh 1/3 kilogram. However, a man can only eat 1/4 kilogram as part of his diet. What fraction of slices can he eat to meet his diet?

Final Answer:

n =  9/4 = 2 ¹⁄₄

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} p=\frac{1}{3}/3=\frac{1}{3\cdot 3}=\frac{1}{9}\doteq 0.1111\text{kg} \\ m=1/4=\frac{1}{4}=0.25\text{kg} \\ n=m/p=\frac{1}{4}/\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1}{4}:\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{9}{1}=\frac{1\cdot 9}{4\cdot 1}=\frac{9}{4}=2\frac{1}{4}=2.25 \end{gathered}$$
