Final answer:
To find the total pounds of candy, multiply the amount of candy each person bought (1/4 pound) by the number of people (5). The correct answer is 1 and 1/4 pounds of candy.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total pounds of candy that Anum and her four friends bought, we need to add up the amounts of candy each person bought. From the model, we can see that each person bought 1/4 pound of candy. So to find the total, we need to multiply 1/4 by the number of people, which is 5 (Anum + her four friends). This gives us 1/4 x 5 = 5/4 = 1 and 1/4 pounds of candy. Therefore, the correct answer is d. 1 and 1/4 pounds of candy.
