1 and 5/16 pounds
Divide 7/8 with 2/3
Answer: 6.25 or 6 
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets do a pro gamer move and convert all fractions to decimals.
We now have 1+1+1.25+1.5+1.5.
From there on we simply do addition.
1+1+1.25+1.5+1.5=6.25
We get 6.25 or 6 
Split the room into 2 rectangles
area = 5*4 + 3*3 = 29 sq ft
So the cost is 29*8 = $232
The number of possibilities for the first one is 50 choose 5, and the number of possibilities for the second one is 60 choose 6. Since 50 choose 5 is 2118760 and 60 choose 6 is 50063860. There are less possible outcomes for state "A" and therefore you have a higher chance of winning.
