From an 18-pound cut of meat, Mr. Rand cuts off steaks weighting 1 pound 15 ounces, 3 1/8 pounds, and 4 1/2 pounds. He divides up the rest into 9-ounces patties and sells them at 3 for $3.12. How much money does he receive for the patties?
+163 First you can subtract the parts Mr. Rand cut off which is 18−11516−318−412=8716 pounds left because 16 ounces make up a pound. After dividing it by 916 we get 13516÷916=13516×169=15 patties. Dividing 15 by 3 we get 5 packs of 3 patties for $3.12, so 3.12×5=$15.60
