Answer 1

Answer:
`(3)/(20)\text{ pound of meat}` is needed more for a quarter pound.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of pound of meat a cheeseburger has is given by

`(1)/(10)\\`

Amount of pound of meat a quarter pounder has is given by

`(1)/(4)`

Amount of meat is more used for a quarter pound is given by

`(1)/(4)-(1)/(10)\\\\=(5-2)/(20)\\\\=(3)/(20)\text{ pound of meat}`

Hence,
`(3)/(20)\text{ pound of meat}` is needed more for a quarter pound.

Answer 2

3/20 of more meat is used for a quarter pound.

Explanation:

Cheese burger has 1/10 pound of meat.

A quarter pound has 1/4 of meat.

To find the additional amount of meat that is used in a quarter pound, we need to subtract.

Subtract 1/10 from 1/4.

`(1)/(4) -(1)/(10)`

`(5)/(20) -(2)/(20)`

`=(3)/(20)`

Hence, 3/20 of more meat is used for a quarter pound.
