11

Remaining 2 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Beef filet = 5 5/8 pounds

Slices of fillet = 8 ounces

A. how many pounds is each steak. write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

1 pound = 16 ounces

Pounds of each steak = ounces per steak / ounces per pound

= 8 ounces / 16 ounces

= 1/2 pound

B. how many 8 ounce steaks can the chef create from the fillet? How many ounces of beef are left over

Beef filet = 5 5/8 pounds

= 45 / 8 pounds

Convert to ounces

= 90 ounces

Number of 8 ounces the chef can create = 90 ounces / 8 ounces

= 11.25

= 11

Remaining 2 ounces of beef
