Answer:
25/24 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
If we want to find the total weight, we should add the weights together
3/8+2/3
To add, we need a common denominator
The least common denominator of 8 and 3 is 24
To get a denominator of 24, multiply 3/8 by 3/3, and 2/3 by 8/8
3/8*3/3=9/24
2/3*8/8=16/24
Now, we have a common denominator and can add
9/24+16/24
Add the numerators, and leave the denominator as 24
25/24=1 1/24= 1.04166666
The total weight for both packages is 25/24 pounds
