It is asking you to find how many pounds she has all together. First I would add all the 1/4, there are 5 1/4 Xs so that equals 1 1/4. Then i would find how many 1/2 Xs there are, here there are two, this is very good because if you have two halves it makes one whole, so it equals 1. Last you add them both together, so 1 1/4 + 1, this equals 2 1/4.
Step-by-step explanation: All you have to do is multiply how much she gets paid per hour by the number of hours that she works so it would just be 9.70*40 which equals 388. Then you have to multiply that answer by the number of weeks in a year so it would be 388*52 and your final answer would be $20, 176.
