How many lbs shrimp is equal to 48 jumbo shrimp?

It's impossible to give an exact answer to how many pounds 48 jumbo shrimp are equal to without more information. Here's why:

* Shrimp size varies: "Jumbo" is a relative term. Shrimp size is measured in counts per pound (like 16/20, 21/25, etc.). A 16/20 count means there are 16-20 shrimp per pound. A jumbo shrimp could be in a 16/20 count or a 26/30 count or something else entirely.

* Shrimp weight is variable: Even within a size category, individual shrimp can vary in weight.

To estimate the weight, you'll need to know the count per pound of the jumbo shrimp you have.

Example:

Let's say you have jumbo shrimp that are 21/25 count (meaning there are 21-25 shrimp per pound). Here's how you could estimate the weight:

1. Average count: Find the average count: (21 + 25) / 2 = 23 shrimp per pound.

2. Divide total shrimp by the average count: 48 shrimp / 23 shrimp per pound ≈ 2.09 pounds.

Therefore, 48 jumbo shrimp that are 21/25 count would roughly weigh 2.09 pounds.
