1 answer

To determine how many 1-pound cheeseburgers Hamburger Heaven can make with a certain amount of meat, we need to know the total pounds of meat they have set aside. However, the amount of meat is not specified in your question.

Let's break down the problem with a variable \( x \) representing the total pounds of meat set aside.

  1. Each cheeseburger requires 1 pound of meat, so they could make \( x \) cheeseburgers with \( x \) pounds of meat.
  2. Since there's a buy one get one free deal, for every cheeseburger purchased, they also get another cheeseburger for free. Therefore, if they sell \( x \) cheeseburgers, the total number of cheeseburgers they can actually provide is \( 2x \).

Now let's rewrite the question:

If they set aside \( x \) pounds of meat, then the total number of cheeseburgers they can make is \( 2x \).

If you can provide a specific value for \( x \) (the pounds of meat), I can calculate \( 2x \) for you and help find the answer in relation to the options you provided (A, B, C, D).
