Human: Antonio is preparing a meal of spaghetti and meatballs for his family.  His recipe for meatballs calls for 1/8 of a pound of hamburger per meatball.  Antonio has 8 family members, including himself.  If he uses 4 pounds of hamburger to make meatballs, and each member of the family eats an equal number of meatballs, how many meatballs will Antonio eat? Assistant:
If one meatball is made from 1/8 pound of hamburger meat, then 4 pounds of hamburger meat will make 4/(1/8)=4*8=32 meatballs.
32 meatballs divided amongst 8 family members is 32/8=4 meatballs per family member.
