.253 move the decimal 2 places to the right then you get 25.3%
12h-9h=3h move everything else to other side
3h=20-40+6
3h=-14
divide by 3
h=-14/3
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one:
We want to pull 11 (this means not including 12) or less from the bag and there are 100 possibilities
= 11/100
So the probability is <span>11/100</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.
