Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1.66 pounds each.

Step-by-step 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.
