Question

At the Italian deli, the sandwich maker cut 4 2/3 lb of turkey and 9 3/5 of roast beef. How many more pounds of roast beef were cut?

Answer 1

To find out how many more pounds of roast beef were cut than turkey, subtract the weight of the turkey from the weight of the roast beef.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many more pounds of roast beef were cut, we need to subtract the amount of turkey from the amount of roast beef.

Given that 4 2/3 lb of turkey were cut and 9 3/5 lb of roast beef were cut, we can subtract:

9 3/5 lb - 4 2/3 lb = 9.6 lb - 4.67 lb = 4.93 lb

Therefore, 4.93 more pounds of roast beef were cut than turkey.

Answer 2

4 14/15 more pounds of roast beef

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 4 2/3 from 9 3/5

9 3/5 - 4 2/3= 4 14/15

So your answer is 4 14/15
