Explanation:

(my answer got deleted for "Not knowing how to answer the question" even though I never said I didn't know so I'm taking my 5 points back)

Answer 2

Answer: 13.4 kilograms

Explanation:

Because apples, bananas, and peaches are all fruits, all we need to do is add them together to find the total.

8.5 + 3 + 1.9 = 13.4

Be careful! Sometimes, the question will include objects that aren't fruits. Don't include those in your equation if it asks for the weight of the fruit (like in this question). That's extra information that you'll need to look out for in the future.

Don't forget your units (kilograms) and good luck!
