You can simplify the fraction to get 2/5. If you convert this into a decimal you will get 0.4, so D is your answer.
Answer: 19/12 pounds or 1.583 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a pound be represented by x. So x = 1 pound.
5/6 of a pound is the same as multiplying 5/6 × x. It becomes 5/6 × x = 5x/6
3/4 of a pound is the same as multiplying 3/4 × x. It becomes 3/4 × x = 3x/4
We want to look for 5/6 of a pound + 3/4 of a pound.
It becomes
5x/6 + 3x/4
Taking lowest common multiple(LCM) of 12, it becomes
= (2×5x + 3×3x) / 12
= (10x +9x)/12
= 19x /12
Substituting x = 1 pound,
It becomes 19/12 pounds
Expressing in decimal, 19/12 = 15.83
We can also solve from the beginning in terms of decimals
5/6 pounds = 0.833 pounds
3/4pounds = 0.75 pounds
5/6 pounds + 3/4 pounds = 0.833 + 0.75 = 1.583 pounds

<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
<h3>
1. Identify the given information.</h3>
a. We have the slope of the line, 1/4.
b. We also have a point of said line, because when the question states "y-intercept 5..." it's telling us that the lines touches the y intercept on the value y= 5, and this only happens when x= 0. Hence, a given point is (0, 5).
• Formula for constructing linear equations.
Formula: 
; where m is the slope of the function; x1 is the x value of a point the function passes through, and y1 is the y value of a point the function passes through.
<h3>2. Substitute in the formula and calculate the equation of the line.</h3>
<h3>3. Graph the line.</h3>
