What is the approximate weight per portion in pounds for a batch that yields 92 portions from 27.8 pounds?

• A. 0.30 lb
• B. 0.40 lb
• C. 0.50 lb
• D. 0.25 lb

Answer: (A)

To find the weight per portion, divide the total batch weight by the number of portions. So, 27.8 pounds divided by 92 portions equals about 0.302 pounds per portion. Rounding to two decimals gives 0.30 lb per portion. This is the closest match to the batch size and the number of portions. The other values would imply a batch weight far from 27.8 pounds (for example, 0.40 lb per portion would require about 36.8 pounds, and 0.25 lb per portion would imply about 23 pounds).
