Answer:

The total weight of the assembly is 7 pounds.

Explanation:

The total weight of the assembry is found by the sum of the weights of each components.

We have:

2 wheels, each weighing 2.6 pounds, so 2*2.6 = 5.2 pounds

An axle, which weighs 1.8 pounds, so 5.2+1.8 = 7 pounds

The total weight of the assembly is 7 pounds.
