The total weight of the two pieces together is 6 pounds.

<h3>How much would the two pieces weigh together?</h3>

A piece of raw silk that is 100 yards long by 1.25 yards wide weights 38lb.

Then, a piece that is 12.5 yards long (and still 1.25 yards wide) will weight:

M = (12.5/100)*38lb = 4.75 lb

And a piece of habotai silk that is 100 yards long by 1.25 yards wide weights 12lb.

Then, a piece that is 12.5 yards long will weigh:

M' = (12.5/100)*12lb = 1.5 lb

If we add these two, we get a total weight of:

M + M' = 4.5lb + 1.5lb = 6lb

The total weight of the two pieces together is 6 pounds.
