The cost of 2 3/5 lb of steak is:
$ 15.86
It is given that:
A grocery store sells steak for $6.10 per pound.
i.e. Cost of 1 pound of steak = $ 6.10
Now, we are asked to find the cost of 2 3/5 lb(pound) of steak.
We know that:
[tex]2\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{2\times 5+3}{5}\\\\2\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{13}{5}[/tex]
Cost of 13/5 pounds of steak= (13/5)×6.10
i.e.
Cost of 13/5 pounds of steak=$ 15.86
