Question

To make meatloaf. mix 2 pounds of beef and 0.5 of a cup of breadcrumbs. How many pounds of beef
would you mix with 4.5 cups of breadcrumbs

Answer 1

Answer:

18 pounds of beef.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 0.5 cups of breadcrumbs there's 2 pounds of beef.

0.5 x 9 = 4.5

9 x 2 = 18 or 2 x 9 = 18

multiples of two: 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18

This shows that when we multiply 2 nine times we get 18!
