Answer:

3 11/16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Lynne bought a bag of grapefruit, 1 5/8 pounds of apples, and 2 3/16 pounds of bananas. The total weight of her purchases was 7 1/2 pounds. How much did the bag of grapefruit weigh?'

The Total weight = Weight of grape fruits + Weight of Apples + Weight of Bananas

Let the weight of the grape fruit = x

7 1/2 = x + 1 5/8 + 2 3/16

x = 7 1/2 - (1 5/8 + 2 3/16)

Lowest Common Denominator = 16

x= 7 1/2 - 3 + ( 10+ 3/16)

x = 7 1/2 - 3 + (13/16)

x = 7 1/2 - 3 13/16

Lowest Common Denominator = 16

x= 4 (8 - 13/16)

x = 4 (-5/16)

x = 3 11/16 pounds

Therefore, the bag of grapefruits weighed 3 11/16 pounds
