Given:
Quantity of chicken = 32 pounds
To find:
How many pounds of steaks sell on Tuesday.
Solution:
Let x be the quantity of steaks sell on Tuesday.
Quantity of chicken sell on Tuesday = 32 pounds
Quantity of chicken = twice of steak
[tex]32 = 2x[/tex]
Divide by 2 on both sides.
[tex]$\frac{32}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}[/tex]
[tex]16 =x[/tex]
Quantity of steaks sell on Tuesday = 16 pounds
Convert pounds into ounces:
1 pound = 16 ounce
16 pounds = 16 × 16
= 256 ounces
Therefore 256 ounces of steaks sells on Tuesday.
