Answer 1

3 batches of meatloaf requires 6 pounds of beef

and 3 cups of bread crumbs.

Explanation:

For pounds of beef

1 batch meatloaf = 2 pounds of beef

3 batches of meatloaf = x

Cross Multiply

x = 3 x 2 pounds of beef

x = 6 pounds of beef

3 batches of meatloaf requires 6 pounds of beef

For bread crumbs

1 batch meatloaf = 1 cup of bread crumbs

3 batches of meatloaf = x

Cross Multiply

x = 3 × 1 cup of bread crumbs

x = 3 cups of bread crumbs

3 batches of meatloaf requires 3 cups of bread crumbs.

Therefore, 3 batches of meatloaf requires 6 pounds of beef and 3 cups of bread crumbs.
