How many pounds of ground beef are needed to make 80 hamburger patties if each uncooked patty weighs 4.8 ounces?
A
10.4 pounds

B
24 pounds

C
61.4 pounds

D
96 pounds

Respuesta :

The right answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Beef per patty = 4.8 ounces

Number of hamburgers = 80

Beef required = Number of hamburgers * beef per patty

Beef required = [tex]80*4.8 = 384 \ ounces[/tex]

As we know,

16 ounces = 1 pound

1 ounce = [tex]\frac{1}{16} \ pounds[/tex]

384 ounces = [tex]\frac{1}{16}*384[/tex]

384 ounces = 24 pounds

24 pounds of beef is required to make 80 hamburger patties.

The right answer is Option B.
