The pounds of steak remaining after the cookout is 3 13/16 pounds
Given:
Total steaks bought = 5 7/8
Steaks used for cookout = 2 1/16
Total steaks remaining = Total steaks bought - Steaks used for cookout
= 5 7/8 - 2 1/16
= 47/8 - 33/16
= (94-33) / 16
= 61/16
= 3 13/16 pounds
Therefore, the pounds of steak remaining after the cookout is 3 13/16 pounds
