6th grade math, help me please.

Answer:
1/2 pounds per tablespoon
Step-by-step explanation:
48 ounces of chili = 3 pounds of chili
Because he used 2 tablespoons of chili powder in the first batch, he used 6 tablespoon of chili powder in the 2nd batch. Which is a lot!
So for every tablespoon he used, he had 1/2 pounds of ground beef alongside it! I hope this helped!
