Question

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.

Lasagna
Serving size
Pounds of meat
20
2.5
50
6.5
80
10
120
15

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?
20
50
80
120

Answer 1

Answer:

The ration that differs from the others is 50/6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lasagna Recipe:

Serves: 20 people and requires 2.5 LBS of meat. Let's break it down into ounces per serving. 2.5 LBS x 16 OZ = 40 OZ

40 OZ / 20 people = 2 OZ meat needed per serving.

The others follow suit, except for the 2nd set of numbers: 50 / 6.5

Serves: 50 people and requires 6.5 LBS of meat. Let's break it down into ounces per serving. 6.5 LBS x 16 OZ = 104 OZ

104 OZ / 50 people = 2.08

80 / 10 will come out to 2 OZ per serving

120 / 15 will come out to 2 OZ per serving.
