There would be 45 pounds of meat in each loaf. The way I did it was since its asking you how many pounds in EACH meat loaf, the word each means to multiply. So I just multiplied 5 and 9 and got 45.

9/5 pounds in each. You are trying to solve for pounds per meatloaf, thus you would have the setup:
pounds / # of meatloafs which is 9/5
