Answer:
First, let’s consider the total amount of ground beef. Since the total amount is 2/3, we can write this as a proportion:
Total ground beef = 2/3
Now, we want to find out how much ground beef is on each plate. Since there are 3 plates, we can set up a proportion to find the amount of ground beef on each plate. Let’s use “x” to represent the amount of ground beef on each plate.
Plate 1 ground beef = x Plate 2 ground beef = x Plate 3 ground beef = x
Now, we can set up a proportion that shows the relationship between the total ground beef and the ground beef on each plate:
Total ground beef = 2/3 x (plate 1 ground beef) = x/3
To find the value of x, we can set up an equation:
2/3 = x/3
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
2 = x
So, the amount of ground beef on each plate is 2.
