To show the relationship between the serving size and the number of pounds of meat needed for a lasagna recipe, a catering company uses the chart below. Serving Size Pounds of Meat 20 2 40 6 80 8 120 12 The employee who created the chart made an error when computing the number of pounds of meat for one of the serving sizes. For which serving size is the ratio of size to pounds of meat different from the other ratios? %C2%A0 (1 point) Responses 80 servings 80 servings 120 servings 120 servings 20 servings 20 servings 40 servings%C2%A0 40 servings%C2%A0 Skip to navigation

Answer 1

To determine which serving size has a different ratio of serving size to pounds of meat, we can calculate the ratio for each of the serving sizes provided in the chart.

1. For 20 servings:
   Ratio = 20 servings / 2 pounds = 10

2. For 40 servings:
   Ratio = 40 servings / 6 pounds = 6.67

3. For 80 servings:
   Ratio = 80 servings / 8 pounds = 10

4. For 120 servings:
   Ratio = 120 servings / 12 pounds = 10

Now, let's compare these ratios:

• 20 servings: 10
• 40 servings: 6.67
• 80 servings: 10
• 120 servings: 10

Based on these calculations, the ratio for 40 servings is different from the others, which all have a ratio of 10. Thus, the correct answer is 40 servings.
