Question

pound

Answer 1

To find out how much ground beef is on each plate, you can divide the total amount of ground beef by the number of plates.

Given:

• Total ground beef = $\frac{2}{3}$ pound
• Number of plates = 3

So, the amount of beef on each plate is calculated as follows:

$$\text{Amount on each plate}=\frac{2/3,\text{pound}}{3}$$

In fraction form, this can be represented as:

$$\text{Amount on each plate}=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{9},\text{pound}$$

Thus, there is $\frac{2}{9}$ pound of ground beef on each plate.
