bags less than 3/8


\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)\longrightarrow2 \\ \\ (1)/(8)\longrightarrow1 \end{gathered}

are 3

to fin the total pounds we multiply each weight by the number of bags


\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)*2=(1)/(2) \\ \\ (1)/(8)*1=(1)/(8) \end{gathered}

now sum


\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)+(1)/(8) \\ \\ ((8*1)+(2*1))/(8*2) \\ \\ (8+2)/(16) \\ \\ (10)/(16)=(5)/(8) \end{gathered}

total weight is 5/8pounds
