Answer:

For serving size 50 the ratio of size to pounds of meat different from the other ratios.

Explanation:

We have to find the ratio of size to pounds of meat for each size.


Ratio=\frac{\text{Serving size}}{\text{Pounds of meat}}=8

For Serving size 20, the Pounds of meat is 2.5


Ratio=(20)/(2.5)=8

For Serving size 50, the Pounds of meat is 6.5


Ratio=(50)/(6.5)=7.6923\\eq 8

For Serving size 80, the Pounds of meat is 10


Ratio=(80)/(10)=8

For Serving size 120, the Pounds of meat is 15


Ratio=(120)/(15)=8

For serving size 50 the ratio of size to pounds of meat different from the other ratios.
