Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!! This is edge! A b c d Will mark brainliest!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

$\fbox{\begin{minipage}{10em}Option D is correct\end{minipage}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Let's find the total amount of candy that Loret and her sister have:

Loret has $2\frac{1}{4}$ pound of candy

Loret's sister has $\frac{2}{3}$ pound of candy

=> Total amount: $A =2\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{9}{4} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{27}{12} + \frac{8}{12} = \frac{35}{12}$ pound of candy

Step 2: Let's find the amount of candy Loret's brother could get:

If Loret's brother did the chores, he can get $\frac{1}{5}$ total amount of candy that Loret and her sister have.

=> The amount Loret's brother can get:

$B = A*\frac{1}{5} = \frac{35}{12} * \frac{1}{5} = \frac{7}{12}$ pound of candy

=> Option D is correct

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

D. $\frac{7}{12} \: of \: a \: pound$

Step-by-step explanation:

$total \: candies = 2 \frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{9}{4} +\frac{2}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{9 \times 3 + 2 \times 4}{3 \times 4} \\ \\ = \frac{27 + 8}{12} \\ \\ = \frac{35}{12} \\ \\ share \: of \: brother = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{35}{12} \\ \\ = \frac{7}{12} \: of \: a \: pound$
