Question

My 11 year old sister needs help.

Answer 1

1¼ pounds

or 1.25 pounds

Explanation:

The lightest bunch = ⅛*5 = ⅝

The heaviest bunch = 1(⅛*+7) = 1⁷/8

Find the difference between the heaviest and the lightest bunch

1⅞ - ⅝

= 15/8 - 5/8

= (15 - 5)/8

= 10/8

= 5/4

= 1¼ pounds

or 1.25 pounds
