Answer 2

Answer:

3.4375 pounds is the weight of the oranges Tyler bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler bought $3\frac{7}{16}$ pounds of oranges.

That means he purchased 3 pounds plus a fraction of one pound of oranges.

We can rewrite the weight as 3 pounds + $\frac{7}{16}$ pounds

Now the fraction can be written in decimals as

$\frac{7}{16}$ = 0.4375

Therefore, the weight of oranges will be

3 + 0.4375 = 3.4375 pounds
