Answer:

Alan buys 12.05 ounces of sour patch kids candy in all.

Explanation:

We are given that Alan buys 5.3 ounces of sour patch kids candy. After sharing with his friends he returns to buy an additional 6.75 ounces.

And we have to find the total ounces he buys in all.

As we know that for finding the total quantity or amount, we will use addition for calculating it.

Firstly, Alan buys = 5.3 ounces of sour patch kids candy

Additional ounces of sour patch kids candy Alan buys = 6.75

So, the total ounces of sour patch kids candy he buys in all = 5.3 + 6.75

= 12.05 ounces

Hence, he buys 12.05 ounces in all.
