1. A penny weighs about 0.1 oz.
Now, we need to find the weights of pennies in pounds
=> always remember that in every 1 oz, there is 0.0625 pounds.
Since 0.1 is 1/10 of 1 oz, we need to find the value of it in pounds.
=> 0.0625 pounds / 10
=> 0.0625 pounds.
Therefore, in 0.1 oz of penny is equivalent to 0.00625 pounds.
In problem like this, before determining the answer, you need to make sure that both unit of measurements are the same. If not, then try to convert.

Answer:

$\frac{19}{12}\ pounds$

$1\frac{7}{12}\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

A landscaper needs 3 4/8 pounds of plant food. He has 1 1/4 pounds in his truck, and another 4/6 pound at his shop. How many more pounds of plant food does the landscaper need?

Let

x ----> the additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper

we know that

The additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper plus the pounds in his truck plus the pounds in his shop must be equal to the total pounds of plant food needed

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$x+1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{6}=3\frac{4}{8}$
