So we need to know what 23 1/2 + 9 5/8 + 6 1/4 is.
first, we need to make them into equivalent fraction.
so...
23 1/2 can be 23 4/8
9 5/8 and
6 1/4 can be 6 2/8
let's add the whole numbers.
23 + 9 + 6 = 38
4/8 + 5/8 + 2/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8
so 38 + 1 3/8 is 39 3/8
the answer is 39 3/8 pounds

If you show the menu I can help
To find a percent you multiply the decimal number by 100. OR to be easier just move the decimal number 2 places to the right.
4.3%
a / 75 = 15 / 100
100a = 75 * 15 [cross multiplication]
a = 11.25
i hope this helps!!! :D
