To find the mean weight of the meat, we need to find the total weight of the meat and then divide it by the number of different types of meat.
Total weight = 5 pounds + 7 pounds + 3 pounds = 15 pounds
Number of different types of meat = 3 (chicken, beef, and pork)
Mean weight = Total weight / Number of different types of meat = 15 pounds / 3 = 5 pounds
Therefore, the mean weight of the meat is 5 pounds.
