Answer:

11 11/12 lb

Explanation:

"3 2/3 times more than the small bag" comes out to:

(3 2/3)*(3 1/4) lb.

Convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions:

11 13 143

--- * ---- = ----------- = 11.917

3 4 12

The large bag weighs 11.917 lb, which may be converted to the mixed number 11 11/12 lb
