Answer: D
Explanation:
Given that a pack of paper weighs 4 3/4 pounds. We need to find out the weight of 1 1/2 packs of paper.
We know that one pack of paper weighs 4 3/4 pounds. To find the weight of 1 1/2 packs, we can multiply the weight of one pack by 1 1/2.
So, 1 1/2 packs of paper weigh:
= (4 3/4) × (1 1/2) pounds [multiplying by 1 1/2 is the same as multiplying by 3/2]
= (19/4) × (3/2) pounds
= (19 × 3) / (4 × 2) pounds
= 57/8 pounds
Therefore, the weight of 1 1/2 packs of paper is 7 1/8 pounds (when rounded to the nearest 1/8 pound). Hence, the answer is option D.
