Answer 2

The correct answer is option (D) 1.5

The A.P. (As Purchased) quantity can be calculated using the formula:

A.P. = E.P. / Yield Factor

Given:

E.P. (Edible Portion) quantity = 1 lb

Yield Factor = 0.66

Use the above formula to find the A.P. quantity:

A.P. = 1 / 0.66 ≈ 1.515

Rounding to one decimal place, the A.P. quantity is approximately 1.5 pounds.

Therefore, the correct answer is (D) 1.5
