Answer:
The equation is (2+x) / 4 = 3
Total amount of chopped vegetables = 10 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Meat=2 pounds
Vegetables=x
Mixture= 2+x
She divides the mixture into 4 equal portions
(2+x)/4
Each portion weighs 3 pounds
(2+x)/4=3
Solve the equation
(2+x)/4=3
Cross product
(2+x) = 4 × 3
2+x=12
x=12-2
=10
x=10 pounds
Total amount of chopped vegetables = 10 pounds
