Answer:
[tex]Pounds\ of\ ground\ meat\ use\ for\ the\ hamburgers\ is\ \frac{173}{80}\ pounds.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
[tex]Keith\ bought\ a\ package\ with\ 2 \frac{9}{16}\ pounds\ of\ ground\ meat\ to\ make\ hamburgers.[/tex]
i.e
[tex]Keith\ bought\ a\ package\ with\ \frac{41}{16}\ pounds\ of\ ground\ meat\ to\ make\ hamburgers.[/tex]
[tex]He\ has\\frac{2}{5}\ pounds\ of\ ground\ meat\ left.[/tex]
Pounds of ground meat use for the hamburgers = Total amount of meat Keith bought for make hamburgers - Amount of meat left
[tex]Pounds\ of\ ground\ meat\ use\ for\ the\ hamburgers = \frac{41}{16} - \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
L.C.M of (16,5) = 80
[tex]Pounds\ of\ ground\ meat\ use\ for\ the\ hamburgers = \frac{41\times 5 - 2\times 16}{80}[/tex]
[tex]Pounds\ of\ ground\ meat\ use\ for\ the\ hamburgers = \frac{205 - 32}{80}[/tex]
[tex]Pounds\ of\ ground\ meat\ use\ for\ the\ hamburgers = \frac{173}{80}[/tex]
[tex]Therefore\ pounds\ of\ ground\ meat\ use\ for\ the\ hamburgers\ is\ \frac{173}{80}\ pounds.[/tex]
