First you need to figure out how much ground beef was used for each burger. To do this, you divide 25 by 100. You then get 0.25

So each burger uses .25 or 1/4  of the ground beef.

Now you need to multiply 120 by 0.25 to get the new amount needed to make the burgers. 120 x .25 = 30.

So 30 Ibs of ground beef will be needed.

The required amount of ground beef to make 120 hamburgers is 30 pounds.

How do you calculate the number of ground beef required?

Given that 100 hamburgers are made of 25 pounds of ground beef.

Thus to calculate the number of ground beef required for 120 burgers, we need to calculate the number of ground beef needed to make one burger.

Hence for one burger, ground beef = [tex]\dfrac {25 \;\rm Pounds} {100 \;\rm burgers}[/tex]

For one burger, ground beef = 0.25 pounds per burger.

Now, the beef required for 120 burgers is,

Ground Beef = [tex]120 \;\rm burgers \times 0.25\;\rm pounds\;per\;burger[/tex]

Ground Beef = 30 Pounds.

Thus the required amount of ground beef to make 120 hamburgers is 30 pounds.
