If the average amount of meat eaten per person is 261 pounds per year then the average amount of meat eaten per day is 11 ounces.
Given that the average amount of meat eaten per person is 261 pounds per year.
We are required to find the average number of ounces of meat eaten per day.
There are 16 ounces in a pound. So,the average amount of meat eaten per person per year will be 261*16=4176 ounces per year.
Average number of ounces of meat eaten per day is there are 365 days in a year=4176/365=11.44 ounces per day.
Now by rounding it to the nearest ounce we will get 11 ounces.
Hence if the average amount of meat eaten per person is 261 pounds per year then the average amount of meat eaten per day is 11 ounces.
