To find the average amount of meat in each patty, we divide the total amount of meat (2 1/2 lb) by the number of patties (8).

First, let's convert 2 1/2 lb to an improper fraction:
2 1/2 lb = (2 * 2) + 1/2 = 4/2 + 1/2 = 5/2 lb

Now, let's perform the division:
(5/2 lb) ÷ 8 = 5/2 ÷ 8 = 5/2 * 1/8 = 5/16

Therefore, the average amount of meat in each patty is 5/16 lb.
