Answer:
amount of salad by each person = 0.21 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Lilian bought 2.52 pounds of tomatoes and 1.26 pounds of lettuce to make salad for 18 people. That means the combined weight in pounds of tomatoes and lettuce is the weight of the salad.
The weight of the salad = 2.52 + 1.26
The weight of the salad = 3.78 pounds
The total weight of the salad is 3.78 pounds . He shared the weight to 18 people and each person collected the same amount.
To find the amount each person got, we divide 3.78 by 18 people.
amount of salad by each person = 3.78/18
amount of salad by each person = 0.21 pounds
