Marisol bought 2 7/8 pounds of bananas, a 3 1/2 pound bag of apples, and 2 bags of oranges that each weighed 2 3/4 pounds. How many pounds of fruit did she buy at the market?

9 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Pounds of bananas=2 7/8

=23/8

Pounds of apple=3 1/2

=7/2

2 bags of oranges=2 3/4 each

11/4 each.

Total pounds of oranges=2(11/4)

=22/4

Total pounds of fruits Marisol bought from the market=pounds of bananas+pounds of apples+pounds of oranges

=28/8+7/2+22/8

Find the L.C.M and add them

The L.C.M=8

Total pounds of fruits =28+28+22/8

=78/8

=9 6/8

Equivalent to

9 3/4
