Question

Mike wants to make meatloaf. His recipe uses a total of 3 pounds of meat. If he uses a 3 to 1 ratio of beef to pork, how much pork will he use?

Answer 1

1 pound of pork. 

Hope this helps. 

Answer 2

He will use 0,75 pounds of pork. I know this by the total of meat to 3 pounds. 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. SInce there is only one pork to three beef that means 2.25 pounds of beef to 0.75 pounds of pork.

Hoped I helped!
