Question

The butcher at Food City had to cut 285 pounds of beef before his shift was over. He cut 25 of steak, 30 pounds of beef ribs, and 55 pounds of roast beef. He ground 85 pounds of hamburger before he took his break. . After his 10 minute break, he put out 35 pounds of chicken for sale. how many pounds of beef will he have to cut after he returns from his break , so that he can go home


Thankssssssssss

Answer 1

Since the chicken is irrelevant, so far he has cut 25 + 30 + 55 + 85 = 195 pounds of beef. He still has 285 - 195 to go, or 90 pounds.

Answer 2

First, determine what information is needed to solve this problem. The problem is asking for the amount of beef, so the time of his break (10 min) and the amount of chicken (35 pounds) is extra information and not needed for solving this problem.

Next you have the amounts of beef that he has already cut:

25 steak
30 ribs
55 roast beef
85 hamburger


Now you have a two step problem:

1. add together all the kinds of beef.

2. subtract that answer from 285 to get the number of pounds of beef he still has to cut before he can go home.

Answer 3

The chicken has nothing to do with the problem. It is unnecessary information.

Add: 25 lb steak + 30 lb beef ribs + 55 lb roast beef + 85 lb hamburger. = 195 lb.

Subtract: 285 lb total needed - 195 lb completed = 90 lb still need to do before he can go home

Answer 4

90 lbs of beef. The chicken is irrelevant. He has used
25 + 30 + 55 + 85 = 195
285 - 195 = 90
