A stew recipe calls for 3.75 pounds of beef. Miss Porch wants to make five batches of stew.
How many pounds of meat does she need to make all five batche
3.75 * 5 = ____
18.75 pounds
To find out how many pounds of meat Miss Porch needs to make all five batches of stew, we can multiply the amount of meat required for one batch by the number of batches she wants to make.
In this case, the recipe calls for 3.75 pounds of beef for one batch. So, to calculate the total amount of meat needed for five batches, we perform the following calculation:
3.75 pounds/batch * 5 batches
Multiplying 3.75 pounds by 5 gives us the answer:
3.75 pounds/batch * 5 batches = 18.75 pounds
Therefore, Miss Porch needs 18.75 pounds of meat to make all five batches of stew.
