Question

At last year's company picnic, 25 pounds of ground beef were needed to make 100 hamburgers.

How many pounds of ground beef will be needed this year if 120 hamburgers are to be made?



30 lb
45 lb
50 lb
55 lb

Answer 1

30lb. Because 100 divided by 25=4
then 120 divided by 4= 30
TADAA

Answer 2

Take 100 and divide it by 25. That is 4, then take 120 and divide it by 4 and that gives you your answer of 30lbs.
