The meat in steak weighs $\frac{3}{4}$ pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Weight of steak = $1\frac{5}{8}\ pounds=\frac{13}{8}\ pounds$

Weight of bone in steak = $\frac{7}{8}\ pounds$

Weight of meat in steak = Weight of steak - Weight of bone

Weight of meat in steak = $\frac{13}{8}-\frac{7}{8}$

Weight of meat in steak = $\frac{13-7}{8}$

Weight of meat in steak = $\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$

The meat in steak weighs $\frac{3}{4}$ pounds.
