Answer:

D). 6 3/4

Explanation:

Given,

The three eggs with the heaviest weights are;


2(1)/(2) ounces


2(1)/(4) ounces, &

2 ounces

To find,

The total weight of the three heaviest eggs =
2(1)/(2) ounces +
2(1)/(4) ounces + 2 ounces

= 5/2 + 9/4 + 2/1

Taking the L.C.M. of 2, 4, and 1,

= 10/4 + 9/4 + 8/4

= (10 + 9 + 8)/4

= 27/4 or 6 3/4
