Answer:

9,7 pounds

Explanation:

We can understand that the means of 0,8 pf the weight of karas pumpkin as fraction o porcentage of the weight, in other words tara's pumpkin is 80% of of kara's pumpkin in weight.

kara's pumpkin weight=x

tara's pumpkin weight=y

Equation

y=x*0,8

y=12,125*0,8

y=9,7 pounds

And thats the Tara's pumpkin weight
