Question

Mr. Adams will be serving 20 people at a barbecue. He plans to make two hamburgers for each person. Mr. Adams spent $27.00 at the store on the meat, which sells for $2.25 per pound. If Mr. Adams wants to make all the hamburgers the same size, what will be the size, in pounds, of each hamburger?

Answer 1

That is 0,3 pounds per hamburger for all 40 hamburgers he will make.at $2.25/ per pound you buy 12 pounds for $27.
12 pounds divided by 40 is 0.3 pounds. That's the weight in pounds of each meat in each hamburger.
