Mrs. cashmore bought a large melon. she cut a piece that weighs 1 1/8 pounds and gave it to her neighbor. the remaining piece of melon weighed 6/8 pound. how much the the whole melon weigh?

For this problem you would have to add. Why? Because if she had 6/8 left AFTER giving 1 and 1/8 to her neighbor, then she had MORE than 1 and 1/8. 1 and 1/8 plus 6/8= 1 & 7/8. Hope this helps, and please look at the pic I provided below to explain this. Thank you :)

Ithink it is b and d
