Answer 2

28.58 pounds, about 29 pounds

Explanation:

Poultry meat with bones ; divide number to be served by 2.5

Meat with little or no bone ; divide number to be served by 3.5

If number of guests to be served = 100

Meat served = 100

The number of pounds of chicken required :

Number of guests to be served / meat served

Hence,

100 / 3.5

= 28.58 ; which is about 29 pounds
