Question 183125
Mr.adams will be serving 20 people at a barbeque. He plans to make two hamburgers for each person. Mr. Adams spent $27.00 at the store on 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?
------------
# of people: 20
# of hamburgers: 40
# of pounds of hamburger: 27/2.25 = 12
weight of each hamburger: 40/12 = 0.3 lbs
