Hi
To find the cost of 2 3/5 pounds of steak, you need to multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds.
Step 1: Convert the mixed number 2 3/5 to an improper fraction.
2 * 5 = 10
10 + 3 = 13
13/5
Step 2: Multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds.
$6.10 * 13/5
To multiply a whole number by a fraction, you multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction and keep the denominator the same.
Step 3: Multiply the whole number part with the fraction.
2 * 13/5 = 26/5
Step 4: Multiply the price per pound by the fraction.
$6.10 * 13/5 = $31.30/5
Step 5: Simplify the fraction, if possible.
$31.30/5 cannot be simplified further.
Therefore, the cost of 2 3/5 pounds of steak would be approximately $31.30/5.
