Question

a chili recipe calls for 6 lbs of ground beef for 25 servings how many pounds of ground beef are needed for 30 servings

Answer 1

First find the lbs per serving for the 25 servings. We do that by dividing 6 pounds by 25 serving. 6/25 = .24 lbs per serving. Now we need to times .24 by 30 to find out how many pounds of ground beef for 30 servings.

.24 times 30 = 7.2 lbs  for 30 servings
