13 divided by 15 people = 13:15 which is 0.87 rounded to 2 decimal places. So that means Each member receives 0.87 pounds of meatloaf.

So i'm not completely positive, but i'm pretty sure these are the steps ...

-There are 15 family members that need to split the 13 pounds of meatloaf equally.

- 15/13 = 1.153846153846154

-So when you round the answer to the nearest hundredth, you get "1.15".

•You're answer would be ... "Each family member gets around 1.15 pounds of meatloaf."

(Again if this isn't correct i completely apologize but i'm almost positive it isn't incorrect! Just lmk if you have anymore questions or you need me to go more in depth!)
