Answer:

1/2 pound per tablespoon

Explanation:

Jaden sure does like his chili!

In the first and second pot, he uses 3 pounds worth of ground beef, which means, 12 ounces of something is a pound. And because Jaden had used 3 times the amount of chili powder in the second pot, he used 6 tablespoons worth of powder. 3 pounds divided by 6 equals 1/2.
