There are a couple of answers, it could be 2+10 or 3+9
If s=2, then t= 2(2)-3 = 1
T=2(4)-3= 5
T=2(6)-3= 9
T=2(8)-3=13
Remark
The general formula is fraction * solid food = amount
Total amount = 1/2 * 3 oz + 3/4 * 3 oz + 1/3 * 2 oz
Total amount = 3/2 oz + (9/4) oz + 2/3 oz
The lowest common denominator of 2 4 and 3 = 12
Total amount = 3*6/2*6 + 9*3/4*3 + 2*4/3*4
Total amount = 18/12 + 27/12 + 8/12
Total amount = 53/12 = 4 5/12 <<< Answer oz of food.
4.42 oz of food <<<< Answer

Hi there!
I'm unsure if '11/4 pounds' meant '1/4', however, if it did, the answer is 6 pies in total.
Here's how I worked it out:
9 - 1.5 = 7.5 ( 1 )
7.5 - 1.5 = 6 ( 2 )
6 - 1.5 = 4.5 ( 3 )
4.5 - 1.5 = 3 ( 4 )
3 - 1.5 = 1.5 ( 5 )
1.5 - 1.5 = 0 ( 6 )
<em>Hope I helped! (:</em>
