To determine how many casserole dishes can be made with 5 pounds of meat when each casserole requires 27 pounds, we can use the following formula:
\[ \text{Number of casseroles} = \frac{\text{Total pounds of meat}}{\text{Pounds of meat per casserole}} \]
Substituting the given values:
\[ \text{Number of casseroles} = \frac{5 \text{ pounds}}{27 \text{ pounds per casserole}} \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Number of casseroles} = \frac{5}{27} \approx 0.1852 \]
Since we cannot make a fraction of a casserole, we can conclude that:
The restaurant can make 0 casseroles with 5 pounds of meat.
Summary:
- Total pounds of meat: 5
- Pounds of meat required for one casserole: 27
- Casseroles that can be made: 0
