863
878
896
915
932

Answer 1

To find out the number of grams in 2 pounds of ground meat, we need to convert pounds to ounces first.

1 pound = 16 ounces

So, 2 pounds = 2 * 16 = 32 ounces.

Now, using the given conversion rate of 5 ounces = 140 grams, we can set up a proportion:

5 ounces = 140 grams
32 ounces = x grams

Cross multiplying, we get:

5 * x = 140 * 32

x = (140 * 32) / 5

x = 2240 / 5

x = 448

Therefore, 2 pounds of ground meat is equal to 448 grams.

None of the given options match the calculated value.
