damaskus [11]

Answer:

7 7/12 pounds of fruit

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add all of the whole numbers

2 + 1 + 3= 6 (save for later)

then find a common denominator between the fractions which is 12

1/3 = 4/12

5/6 = 10/12

4/12 + 10/12 + 5/12 = 19/12 or 1 7/12

now, add 1 7/12 + 6 to get you 7 7/12

hope this helps
