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.
