The chef at the Sizzling Steakhouse has 140 pounds of sirloin steak on hand for Saturday

night. If each portion is 10 1/2 ounces, how many sirloin steak dinners can be served?
Round to the nearest whole dinner. (There are 16 ounces in a pound.)

Answer: 213

Explanation:

Since there are 16 ounces in one pound, you can multiply 140 by 16 to get 2,240.

After that, you can divide 2,240 by 10.5 ounces to get 213.33.

The problem is asking to round to the nearest whole dinner which means the answer would be 213 dinners.
