Question

Nat bought 3.5 pounds of red grapes anu

4 pounds 2 ounces of green grapes. What
was the combined weight of the red and
green grapes she bought?

Answer 1

The combined weight of red and green grapes in total= 7.625 pounds.

Explanation:

The amount of red grapes purchased = 3.5 pounds

The amount of green grapes purchased = 4 pounds and 2 ounces

Now, 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

So, 2 ounces = 2 x 0.0625 p = 0.125 pound

So, the amount of green grapes purchased = 4 pounds + 0.125 pounds

= 4. 125 pounds

Now, the combined weight of grapes = weight of ( red + green) grapes

= 3.5 pounds + 4. 125 pounds

=7.625 pounds

Hence, the combined weight of the red and green grapes she bought in total is 7.625 pounds.
