Solution

First, we need to find out how much turkey Jamal used for the chili. He used 2/3 of the 3.75 pounds. To find this, we multiply 3.75 by 2/3:

3.75 * 2/3 = 2.5 pounds

So, Jamal used 2.5 pounds of turkey for the chili.

Next, we subtract the amount of turkey used for the chili from the total amount of turkey Jamal bought to find out how much is left for the patties:

3.75 - 2.5 = 1.25 pounds

Finally, we divide the remaining amount of turkey by the number of patties Jamal makes:

1.25 / 5 = 0.25 pounds

So, Jamal uses 0.25 pounds of ground turkey for each patty.
