Answer 1

hello
answer is 333 5\8
~hope i help~

Answer 2

Answer : The fraction of pounds of fruits over the total pounds of fruit and vegetables is,
`(1005)/(2669)`

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Total amount of vegetables = 208 pounds

Total amount of fruits =
`125(5)/(8)\text{ pounds}=(1005)/(8)\text{ pounds}`

Thus, the total amount of fruits and vegetables will be:

`208+125(5)/(8)\\\\=208+(1005)/(8)\\\\=(1664+1005)/(8)\\\\=(2669)/(8)`

Now we have to calculate the fraction of pounds of fruits over the total pounds of fruit and vegetables :

`\frac{\text{Pounds of fruits }}{\text{ total pounds of fruits and vegetables}}\\\\=(((1005)/(8)))/(((2669)/(8)))\\\\=(1005)/(8)* (8)/(2669)\\\\=(1005)/(2669)`

Thus, the fraction of pounds of fruits over the total pounds of fruit and vegetables is,
`(1005)/(2669)`
