Answer 1

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
