Answer:
The weight of bag of grapefruit =[tex]3\frac{27}{100}[/tex] pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The total weight of apples purchased = 1 5/8 pounds
Now, [tex]1\frac{5}{8} = 1+ \frac{5}{8} = 1 + 0.625 =1.625[/tex]
So, the weight of apples brought = 1.625 pounds.
The total weight of bananas purchased = 2 3/16 pounds
Now, [tex]12\frac{3}{16} = 2+ \frac{3}{16} = 2+ 0.1875 =2.1875[/tex]
So, the weight of bananas brought = 2.1875 pounds.
Let us assume the total weight of grapefruit weight = m pounds
Now, total weight = 7 1/12 pounds = 7.0833
⇒ Weight of ( Apples + Banana + Grapefruit) = Total Weight
⇒1.625 pounds + 2.1875 pounds + m = 7.0833 pounds
or, m = 7.0833 - 3.8125 = 3 .27
or, m = 3.27
Now, [tex]3.27 = 3 + 0.27 = 3 + \frac{27}{100} = 3\frac{27}{100}[/tex]
Hence. the weight of bag of grapefruit =[tex]3\frac{27}{100}[/tex]
