Question

Devante buys 1/1/4 pounds of cashews 7 ounces of almonds and 3/4 pounds of pecans how much do the nuts weight in

Answer 1

Answer:
`39\ \text{Ounces}`

Explanation:

Given

The amount of cashews is
`1(1)/(4)\ \text{Pounds}`

Amount of almonds
`7\ \text{ounces}`

The amount of pecans is
`(3)/(4)\ \text{Pounds}`

We know,
`1\ \text{Pound}=16\ \text{Ounces}`

Converting pounds to ounces and adding them

`\Rightarrow 1(1)/(4)* 16+7+(3)/(4)* 16\\\\\Rightarrow (5)/(4)* 16+7+3* 4\\\\\Rightarrow 20+7+12=39\ \text{ounces}\ or\ (39)/(16)\ \text{Pounds}`

Thus, the nuts weigh
`39\ \text{Ounces}`
