Answer:

(b) The number of pounds of berries each person would receive is 1\frac{5}{8}pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of berries in first basket = 3 3/8 pounds

Now, 3\frac{3}{8}  = 3+\frac{3}{8} = 3 + 0.375 = 3.375

So, the amount of berries in first basket = 3.375 pounds

The amount of berries in second basket = 2 7/8 pounds

Now, 2\frac{7}{8}  = 2+\frac{7}{8} = 2 + 0.875 = 2.875

So, the amount of berries in second basket = 2.875 pounds

Now, the total berries = Berries in ( First + Second)  basket

                                      = 3.375 pounds +  2.875 pounds  

                                    = 6.25 pounds

So, the number of pounds each person would have = \frac{\textrm{Total weight of viable berries}}{\textrm{4}}  = \frac{6.25}{4} = 1.5625

Now, 1.5625 = 1 + 0.5625  = 1 + \frac{5625}{10000}  = 1 + \frac{5}{8}  = 1\frac{5}{8}

So, the number of pounds of berries each person would receive is 1\frac{5}{8}pounds.
