Answer 1

lets convert all the fractions to decimals and then add. :)

apples- 1.5

strawberries- 0.75

grapes- 0.50

oranges- 1.75

pears- 1.25

add all these together and you get 5.75 pounds of fruit in total

if you desire to have your answer as a fraction the fraction for 5.75 would be 5 75/100 simplified to 5 3/4

Your answer is 5.75 or 5 3/4
