To find out how much Steve's food weighed, we need to start by calculating the weight difference between Allison's food and Steve's food.
Given:
Allison's food weighs 1.3 pounds.
Steve's food weighs 0.08 pounds less than Allison's food.
To find the weight of Steve's food, we subtract 0.08 pounds from Allison's food weight:
Steve's food weight = Allison's food weight - Weight difference
= 1.3 pounds - 0.08 pounds
Calculating this:
Steve's food weight = 1.22 pounds
Therefore, Steve's food weighs 1.22 pounds.
