This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>

(2, 124)</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k - the vertex form of the equation of the parabola with vertex (h, k)
![f(x) = -16x^2+ 64x + 80\\\\f(x) = -16(x^2- 4x) + 80\\\\f(x) = -16(\underline {x^2-2\cdot2x\cdot2+2^2}-2^2) + 80\\\\f(x) = -16\big[(x-2)^2-4\big] + 80\\\\f(x) = -16(x-2)^2+64 + 80\\\\\bold{f(x)=-16(x-2)^2+124\quad\implies\quad h=2\,,\quad k=124}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3D%20-16x%5E2%2B%2064x%20%2B%2080%5C%5C%5C%5Cf%28x%29%20%3D%20-16%28x%5E2-%204x%29%20%2B%2080%5C%5C%5C%5Cf%28x%29%20%3D%20-16%28%5Cunderline%20%7Bx%5E2-2%5Ccdot2x%5Ccdot2%2B2%5E2%7D-2%5E2%29%20%2B%2080%5C%5C%5C%5Cf%28x%29%20%3D%20-16%5Cbig%5B%28x-2%29%5E2-4%5Cbig%5D%20%2B%2080%5C%5C%5C%5Cf%28x%29%20%3D%20-16%28x-2%29%5E2%2B64%20%2B%2080%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cbold%7Bf%28x%29%3D-16%28x-2%29%5E2%2B124%5Cquad%5Cimplies%5Cquad%20h%3D2%5C%2C%2C%5Cquad%20k%3D124%7D)
<u>The vertex is </u><u>(2, 124)</u>
Solve for x in 2nd equation
times -1 both sides
x-5=6y
add 5
x=6y+5
sub
5(6y+5)+4y=-26
30y+25+4y=-26
34y+25=-26
minus 25 both sides
34y=-51
divide both sides by 34
y=-3/2
sub back
x=6y+5
x=6(-3/2)+5
x=-18/2+5
x=-9+5
x=-4
(-4,-3/2) is solution
.8 it represents .80 cents. rather than .08 which would represent 8 pennies
