Answer:

Deerak needs approximately 73.33 pounds of meat for the picnic (or 220/3 lbs.)

Explanation:

We can answer this problem using rate conversion:


300 \ \text{people} \cdot \frac{11\ \text{sandwiches}}{10 \ \text{people}}\cdot \frac{20\ \text{pounds of meat}}{90\ \text{sandwiches}} = (220)/(3)\ \text{pounds of meat}.

Thus, Deerak needs approximately 73.33 pounds of meat for the picnic (that's quite a lot 0.0).
