Given that number of pounds of berries that Jessica bought = \frac{3}{4} lb

Given that "Mary bought \frac{1}{6} lb of berries less the jessica"

then number of pounds of berries that Mary bought

=(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{6})  lb

=\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{3}{3}-\frac{1}{6}\cdot\frac{2}{2}  lb

=\frac{9}{12}-\frac{2}{12}  lb

=\frac{7}{12}  lb


Now we need to find the total weight of berries in pounds that they bought.

To find that we just need to add both values.

\frac{3}{4}+\frac{7}{12}

=\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{3}{3}+\frac{7}{12}

=\frac{9}{12}+\frac{7}{12}

=\frac{16}{12}

=\frac{4}{3}


Hence final answer is \frac{4}{3} lb.

The scale is 1 foot is 1/8 inch

To convert from foot to inch, we multiply by 1/8

To convert from inch to foot, we multiply by 8

Thus, we have ;

Let’s fill in the left spaces first;

6.25 * 8 = 50 feet

Right spaces, top to bottom;
