Answer 1

To determine which serving size has a different ratio of serving size to pounds of meat compared to the others, we can calculate the ratio for each serving size.

Let's look at the provided data:

• 30 servings: 2.75 pounds of meat
• 75 servings: (not provided, so we will skip this for now)
• 120 servings: 8 pounds of meat
• 180 servings: 12 pounds of meat

Now, let's calculate the ratio of servings to pounds of meat for the available values:

1. 30 servings: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{30}{2.75} \approx 10.91 \]

2. 120 servings: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{120}{8} = 15 \]

3. 180 servings: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{180}{12} = 15 \]

Since we don't have the data for 75 servings, we need to look at the calculated ratios.

From the calculations:

• The ratio for 30 servings is approximately 10.91.
• The ratios for 120 and 180 servings are both 15.

Thus, the serving size that has a different ratio of size to pounds of meat is 30 servings.
