Question

If two pounds of meat will serve 5 people, how many pounds will be needed to serve 13
people?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer of the question is 2 and 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation: Every pound of meat serves one person, because 10 divided by 2 people is 5. Then, there are 3 pieces of meat left over, and since every person eats 5/5, or 1 whole, then there are 3/5 pieces left over. You then add 2 and 3/5 together, getting your answer 2 3/5.

Answer 2

Explanation:

2 pounds / 5 people

x pounds / 13 people

2/5 pounds per person so 2/5 * 13 = 26/5

5 1/5 i think
