That's a very vague and unhelpful description of your piece of meat, because cuts of meat tend to not be of even size and weight. What kind of cut of meat is it? What do you intend to do with it? Why do you need 2 pound pieces? Do you need to cut all your meat into 2 pound pieces with no remaining meat left? (I should note that this is a mathematical impossibility.)
Unless this is some kind of strangely worded math problem. 7 divided by 20 is 0.35, meaning that 0.35 lbs equals 1 inch of meat. 0.35 times 5 plus 0.25 equals 2.0. Thus you'll need to cut 5 5/7 inch pieces of meat to have 2 pound pieces. You will have three 2 pound pieces, with a remainder piece of meat that is 2 6/7 inches long, and weighs 1 pound,
This is of course assuming that the width and height of your piece of meat do not vary. If they do, then I'll come back to the point that you need to provide more information.
I also acknowledge that this post is 2 days old, and that your piece of meat may have long since been cut and perhaps cooked and consumed. I just wanted to type this out because I am bored, despite having better things to do in my life.

I have a piece of meat 20 inches long and weight 7 pounds. How long do I cut the pieces to have 2 pound pieces????
