Jaden made a pot of chili with 48 ounces of ground beef and 2 tablespoons of chili powder. he made another pot of chili with the same amount of ground beef, but he used 3 times as much chili powder. how many pounds of ground beef per tablespoon of chili powder did he use in the second pot of chili

So, it is given to us that Jaden has 3 pound of beef in the first pot and 2 table spoons of chili powder.

(16 ounces = 1 pound)

(48 ounces = 3 pounds)

In he second bowl he uses the SAME amount of beef and 3 times as much chili powder.

Which means that he used 3 pounds of beef and 2*3 = 6 table spoons of chili powder in the second cup.

The question is asking you for the ratio between the two quantities in a cryptic manner.

so, it would end up being 3 pounds of beef every 6 table spoons of chili powder, which is nothing but Half (0.5 pounds of beef every tablespoon of chili powder).

1/2 pounds of beef every tablespoon of chili powder.

HOPE THIS HELPS!
