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.
