Question

Silvia buys 12 steaks that are each 34 of a pound. She spends a total of $90 on steaks. Complete each sentence. Silvia buys a total of lb of steak. To find the total amount that Silvia spends for each pound of steak, $90 by .

Answer 1

I think in the first sentence, that should have been 3/4 instead of 34. Total amount of steak bought (lb)
                                        total amount = (3/4 lb/steak)(12 steak) = 9 lb
To find the total amount that Silvia spends for each pound of steak, we divide $90 by 9 and that will give us an answer of $10.
