Answer:

86.74 pounds

Explanation:

Team A

The mean weight for team A with 15 members is 140 pounds

Total weight for Team A = Mean × number is members

= 15 × 140 pounds

= 2100 pounds

Team B

The mean weight for team B with 7 members is 135 pounds

Total weight for Team B = Mean × number is members

= 7 × 135 pounds

= 945 pounds

Team C

Mean weight for team C with 20 members is 160 pounds.

Total weight for Team C = Mean × number is members

= 20 × 160 pounds

= 3200 pounds

The total number of members from the 3 teams =( 15 + 7 + 20) members

= 42 members

The total weight in pounds from the 3 teams = (2100 + 945 + 3200)

= 6245 pounds

The overall mean weight for all three teams is calculated as:

6245/42 members

= 86.736111111 pounds

Approximately = 86.74 pounds
