At a butcher shop, Hilda bought 6 1/4 lb of Beef and some pork. She left with 13 1/20 lb of meat. Express the number of pounds of pork she bought using a decimal so Hilda bought ? lb of pork

Hilda bought 6 1/5 pound of pork

As a decimal 6.2 pounds of pork

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the denominator of 6 1/4 equivalent to ?/20

1/4 = ?/20

Multiply numerator and denominator by 5

5/20

So the amount of beef she bought would be 6 5/20

Change both fractions to an improper fraction

6 5/20 = 125/20                           13 1/20 = 261/20

Subtract 125/20 from 261/20

261/20 - 125/20 = 136/20

Turn 136/20 to a proper fraction by dividing 20 from 136

136/20 = 6 8/20

Simplify

6 8/20 = 6 1/5

answer: no

step-by-step explanation:

you are only given the cost not the amount of pounds.
