Respuesta :

10 2/4, hope it helps!

Answer:

[tex]10\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

For a recipe,

Cindy needs tomatoes = [tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds,

While, Giovanni needs tomatoes = [tex]5\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds,

If they make both recipes,

Then, total tomatoes they need = [tex]4\frac{3}{4}+5\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{19}{4}+\frac{23}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{42}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=10\frac{2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=10\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds}[/tex]
