A restaurant runs the following food challenge: If a customer can finish a 72-ounce steak in 60 minutes or less, then the restaurant will pay for the steak. What is the weight of the steak to the nearest tenth of a pound? (1 pound=16 ounces) square

To find the weight of the steak in pounds, we need to convert the given weight in ounces to pounds. We are given that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.<br /><br />Given:<br />Weight of the steak = 72 ounces<br />Conversion factor: 1 pound = 16 ounces<br /><br />To convert ounces to pounds, we divide the weight in ounces by the conversion factor:<br /><br />Weight in pounds = Weight in ounces / Conversion factor<br />Weight in pounds = 72 ounces / 16 ounces per pound<br /><br />Now, let's calculate the weight in pounds:<br /><br />Weight in pounds = 72 / 16<br />Weight in pounds = 4.5<br /><br />Therefore, the weight of the steak to the nearest tenth of a pound is 4.5 pounds.
