Certainly! Let's analyze each statement based on the given information:
a. Mr. Romano orders 48 lb of beef.
- True: This is correct. Mr. Romano orders 48 pounds of beef.
b. Mr. Romano orders 16 lb of chicken.
- True: This statement is also correct. Mr. Romano orders 16 pounds of chicken.
c. The ratio of pounds of beef to pounds of chicken that Mr. Romano orders is [tex]\(3:2\)[/tex].
- False: To determine the correct ratio of pounds of beef to pounds of chicken, we divide the amount of beef by the amount of chicken.
- [tex]\( \frac{48 \text{ lb beef}}{16 \text{ lb chicken}} = 3 \)[/tex]
- Therefore, the correct ratio is [tex]\(3:1\)[/tex], not [tex]\(3:2\)[/tex].
d. The ratio of pounds of chicken to pounds of beef that Mr. Romano orders is [tex]\(1:3\)[/tex].
- True: For the ratio of pounds of chicken to pounds of beef, we divide the amount of chicken by the amount of beef.
- [tex]\( \frac{16 \text{ lb chicken}}{48 \text{ lb beef}} = \frac{1}{3} \)[/tex]
- Hence, the correct ratio is indeed [tex]\( \frac{1}{3} \)[/tex], which can be expressed as [tex]\(1:3\)[/tex].
