Step-by-step explanation:
We know that
<span>1 1/8 gallons----------> (1*8+1)/8-------> 9/8 gallons
</span><span>13 1/2 miles----------> (13*2+1)/2-------> 27/2 miles
if 9/8 gallons-------------------> 27/2 miles
1 gallons----------------------> X
X=(27/2)/(9/8)---------> 216/18--------> 12 miles
the answer is 12 miles</span>
Your mistake is that 1 pound and 15 ounces <em>does not equal</em> 1.15 pounds. You also did not make everything into the same measurement (you mixed up pounds and ounces). I will make everything into the measurement of <em>ounces</em>, since the numbers do not come out clean if we do pounds.
18 pounds (original) = 288
1 pound 15 ounces = 31 ounces
3 1/8 pound = 50 ounces
4 1/2 pound = 72 ounces
So after cutting out those steaks, Mr. Rand has 288-31-50-72 = 135 ounces. Then, it states that he divides those up into 9 ounce patties:
135/9 = 15 patties
And sells them at 3 for $3.12. There are 5 3's in 15 patties, so it is 5 * $3.12 = Mr Rand receives $15.60 for the patties.
