Answer:
[tex]1~3/4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]k[/tex] be the amount of pork Mike uses. Then, he uses [tex]3k[/tex] beef.
We know he uses 7 pounds, of meat so we want to solve [tex]3k+k=7[/tex].
Combining like terms on the left side gives [tex]4k=7[/tex].
We can divide both sides by [tex]4[/tex] to get [tex]k=7/4=1~3/4[/tex].
So, the answer is [tex]\boxed{1~3/4}[/tex].
