Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the correct question:

Last year, Bob's Market ordered 15 1/2 pounds of plums from a local orchard. This year, the market plans to order 1 1/4 times as many pounds of plums as were ordered last year. They want 2/5 of this order to be red plums. What is the total amount, in pounds, of red plums the market plans to order this year?

The amount of pounds of plum that is ordered this year will be:

= 15 1/2 × 1 1/4

= 31/2 × 5/4

= 19 3/8

Since they want 2/5 to be red plums, the total amount of red plums will then be:

= 2/5 × 19 3/8

= 2/5 × 155/8

= 310/40

= 7 3/4 pounds
