Answer:
7 1/5 pounds in each basket
Step-by-step explanation:
Original pounds of onion = 9 3/5
New pounds of onion = 4 4/5
The onions then were mixed and kept in 2 baskets with each basket having equal pounds on onions
Total onions = Original pounds of onion + New pounds of onion
= 9 3/5 + 4 4/5
= 48/5 + 24/5
= 48+24/5
= 72 / 5 pounds
How many pounds of onions does each basket contain?
Pounds in each basket = Total pounds /2 basket
= 72/5 ÷ 2
= 72/5 × 1/2
= 72 / 10
= 7 2/10
= 7 1/5 pounds in each basket
