I think its.......5/15=1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
OK so
Tomatoes = 2 3/8 = 19/8 (turned into improper fraction)
Asparagus = 1 1/4 =5/4
Potatoes = 2 7/8 = 23/8
Total vegetables used =
19/8 + 5/4 + 23/8 = 42/8 + 5/4 = 42+10/8 =52/8
Answer is 52/8 = 6.5

Answer:
The answer is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
I know and is not stupid
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
