Answer 1

Tim picked 60 pounds of berries.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pounds of berries Tim picked, we need to follow the information given in the question. Jill picked 125 pounds of berries. Rachel picked twice as many berries as Jill, so Rachel picked 2 * 125 = 250 pounds of berries. Tim picked 12/5 * 250 = 60 pounds of berries.
