Question

Mr. Jones will be serving 20 people I respect that he plans to make you hamburgers for each person who is coming to the picnic Mr. Jones spent $27 at the butcher on the meat with shells for 225 a pound if Mr. Jones wants to make all of the hamburger is the same size what will be the size of pounds of each hamburger

Answer 1

The answer is 1.66 pounds each.

Explanation:

Mr. Jones is buying the meat at the price of $2.25 a pound. If he buys meat with $27, that means he is buying 27 / 2.25 = 12 pounds of meat.

He needs to make 20 hamburgers from the 12 pounds of meat and they need to be the same size. So for each hamburger, the size will be 20 / 12 = 1.66 pounds.

I hope this answer helps.
