Kids bought a package with 2 9/ 16 lb of ground meat to make hamburgers he was he has 2/5 pound of ground meat left about how many pounds of ground meat did he use for hamburgers

Answer 1

Answer:

The quantity of ground meat he use for hamburgers is                                   2 $\frac{13}{80}$ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total quantity of ground meat bought to make hamburgers = 2 $\frac{9}{16}$

Or, The total quantity of ground meat bought to make hamburgers = $\frac{41}{16}$ pound

The quantity of ground meat left after use = $\frac{2}{5}$ pound

Now, let The quantity of ground meat used for hamburgers = x pound

So, x = The total quantity of ground meat bought - The quantity of ground meat left

Or, x = $\frac{41}{16}$ pound -  $\frac{2}{5}$ pound

Or, x =  $\frac{205-32}{80}$ pound

I.e x = $\frac{173}{80}$

∴  x = 2 $\frac{13}{80}$ pounds

Hence The quantity of ground meat he use for hamburgers is                        2 $\frac{13}{80}$ pounds  . Answer
