b) 2 and one-fourth pounds

c) 4 and one-fourth pounds

d) 4 and one-half pounds

Answer:

c) 4 and one-fourth pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question:

There are 3 different cheeses at the deli. Yasuko buys Three-fourths of a pound of each.

Total pounds of cheese = 3 × (3/4)

= 9/4 pounds of cheese

There are also 4 different meats. She buys One-half of a pound of each.

Total pounds of meats she bought = 4 × (1/2)

= 4/2 pounds of meat

The total pounds of total meat and cheese did Yasuko bought at the deli =

= 9/4 pounds of cheese + 4/2 pounds of meat

L.C.M = 4

= 9 × 1 + 4 × 2/4

= 9 + 8/4

= 17/4

= 4 1/4 pounds

In words is 4 and one-fourth pounds
