Answer 1

Answer:

3/20 of more meat is used for a quarter pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cheese burger has 1/10 pound of meat.

A quarter pound has 1/4  of meat.

To find the additional amount of meat that is used in a quarter pound, we need to subtract.

Subtract 1/10 from 1/4.

$\frac{1}{4} -\frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{5}{20} -\frac{2}{20}$

$=\frac{3}{20}$

Hence, 3/20 of more meat is used for a quarter pound.

Answer 2

Answer:$\frac{3}{20}\text{ pound of meat}$ is needed more for a quarter pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of pound of meat a cheeseburger has is given by

$\frac{1}{10}$

Amount of pound of meat a quarter pounder has is given by

$\frac{1}{4}$

Amount of meat is more used for a quarter pound is given by

$\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{10}\\\\=\frac{5-2}{20}\\\\=\frac{3}{20}\text{ pound of meat}$

Hence, $\frac{3}{20}\text{ pound of meat}$ is needed more for a quarter pound.
