Thanks for helping!?
THIS IS MY POW #5 HELP! Ronaldo, a Real Madrid soccer player, is on a strict diet and goes into a shop to buy some ham slices. He is givin 3 slices which together weight 1/3 of a pound, but his diet says that he is only allowed to eat 1/4 of a pound. How much of the slices he bought can he eat while staying true to his athlete's diet?

Assuming the 3 slices are equal in weight, each slice weighs 1/9th of a pound (because 1/3 divided by 3 is 1/9)
So how many 1/9th of a pound slices can he eat before he has reached his 1/4th of a pound limit? Simply divide 1/4th by 1/9th. (1/4)/(1/9) = 2.25. He can eat 2 slices plus 1/4th of a slice.
