Answer
Nadia can eat 5 nuggets.
Work Step by Step
We know that each package of chicken nuggets weighs 10.5 ounces and has 15 nuggets. To find out the weight of each nugget, we divide:
$~~~~~~~~0.7$
$15\overline{)10.5}$
$~~~~~~\underline{10~5}$
$~~~~~~~~~~~0$
Therefore, each nugget weighs 0.7 ounces.
We know that Nadia can eat 3.5 ounces. To find out the number of nuggets she can eat, we divide again:
$0.7\overline{)3.5}$
We move the decimal place one point to the right to simplify the division:
$~~~~~~5$
$7\overline{)35}$
$~~~~\underline{35}$
$~~~~~~~0$
Therefore, Nadia can eat 5 nuggets.
