Answer 1

Gina can ship all 3 books.  The books only weigh 4 and 13/16

Answer 2

→Weight of First book

`=2(7)/(16)\\\\=(39)/(16)`

→ Weight of Second book

`=1(7)/(8)\\\\=(15)/(8)`

→Weight of Third book

`=(1)/(2)`

→Total weight of three books

`=(39)/(16)+(15)/(8)+(1)/(2)\\\\=(39+30+8)/(16)\\\\=(77)/(16)\\\\=4(13)/(16)`

→Maximum Weight of 3 books that Gina Can Ship =6 Pounds

`\rightarrow 6 >4(13)/(16)`

Yes, Gina Can ship all 3 Books.
