answer a and b
So we need to know what 23 1/2 + 9 5/8 + 6 1/4 is. first, we need to make them into equivalent fraction. so... 23 1/2 can be 23 4/8 9 5/8 and 6 1/4 can be 6 2/8 let's add the whole numbers. 23 + 9 + 6 = 38 4/8 + 5/8 + 2/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8 so 38 + 1 3/8 is 39 3/8 the answer is 39 3/8 pounds
