Answer:
1/4 of a pound
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 16 ounces in each pound. Since the chef in this scenario is slicing the filet into 4-ounce servings then that would mean that each serving is 4/16 of a pound. Since 4 goes into 16 an even amount of times (4 times) we can simplify this fraction to its simplest form by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 4, like so...
[tex]\frac{4 / 4}{16 / 4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, each serving is 1/4 of a pound.
