Answer:
The quantity of ground meat he use for hamburgers is 2 [tex]\frac{13}{80}[/tex] pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The total quantity of ground meat bought to make hamburgers = 2 [tex]\frac{9}{16}[/tex]
Or, The total quantity of ground meat bought to make hamburgers = [tex]\frac{41}{16}[/tex] pound
The quantity of ground meat left after use = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] 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 = [tex]\frac{41}{16}[/tex] pound - [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] pound
Or, x = [tex]\frac{205-32}{80}[/tex] pound
I.e x = [tex]\frac{173}{80}[/tex]
∴ x = 2 [tex]\frac{13}{80}[/tex] pounds
Hence The quantity of ground meat he use for hamburgers is 2 [tex]\frac{13}{80}[/tex] pounds . Answer
