Help, Im stupid, LOL

NWCountryGal

if I have sirloin chops and the package weighs 1.66 lbs, and each chop is about the same size, how much does just one chop weigh and how did you figure it out, LOL!!

I took and divided 1.66 by 4(4 chops)and get .4 something. I'm corn'fused;) Denise

Multiply 16 (amount of ounces in a pound) by the .4 something, and the number you get will be the approximate wright in ounces for each chop.

6.64 oz per chop is what I come up with.

LuckyLeprechaun

you did it correctly.

just ignore the decimals and divide like you would normally, then out the decimals back into your answer.

166 / 4 = approx 41, put back in the decimals and you get .41

so each chop is just under a half a pound. call it 6 ounces and you'll be pretty close.

6.4 oz each if there are 4 equal sized chops in the pack... I used a web site that does the conversion for you.

You're NOT stupid! Sounds like you did it right. You want to take the total weight, divide it by the number of chops, and that will give you the total weight of each chop (respectively) if they are each approx. the same size. It sounds like they are close to 1/2 pound each. Exactly= 0.415 lbs... Now, the difficult part... do they have the bone in?

You are correct .415 of a pound. Now you get to have fun converting that to ounces I'm assuming, lol. I can do it, but I always have to look it up. Let me know if you need help.

You're not stupid just stuck.

.4 is the answer- that's .4 pounds. If you're looking for oz there are 16 oz in a pound so you'd multiply by .4 to get the weight in oz.
.4 x 16 = 6.4 oz

Hope that helps!

1 lb. is 16 oz, so you have to multiply 1.66 times 16. which equals 26.56. Then you can divide by the number of sirloin chops in the package to "estimate" the weight of one chop. A better way, though, is to get a food scale and weigh it because they can vary from chop to chop.

For those of us old schoolers.....

1.66 lb = 26.56 oz (16oz per pound ....1.66 x 16)

26.56 divided by 4 = 6.64 oz each chop

You were probably just dizzy and confused because you were hungry for chops!

LOL! You got it right;) Thank you, I like those "old schoolers" since I am one:) Thank you much, Denise:)

For the mathematically disinclined (i.e. me): get a food scale...solves the whole problem!

Instead of worrying about math, I would recommend that you get a digital food scale. I live in the UK where recipes are done by weight rather than volume, so I have to have a scale. I use it to weigh food portions all the time.

Maths makes my head spin - I use my trusty scale for everything I put in my mouth these days:happy:
