Lynne bought a bag of grapefruit, 1 and 5/8 pounds of apples, and 2 and 3/16 pounds of bananas. The total weight of her purchases was 7 and 1/2 pounds. How much did the bag of grapefruit weigh?
Answers
First add the 1 and 5/8 to 2 and 3/16.
Subtract this sum from the total 7 1/2 pounds. This will give the weight of grapefruit.
It would be: x + 1 5/8 + 2 3/16 = 7 1/2
x + 13/8 + 35/16 = 15/2
16x+26+35 /16 = 15/2
16x+61/16 = 15/2
2(16x+61) = 15*16
32x + 122 = 240
x = 118/32
x = 3.68
x = 3 11/18 Pound
In short, Your Answer would be 3 11/18 Pound
Hope this helps!

¹⁶/₅ or 3 ¹/₅ or 3.2 ounces.
Further explanation
Given:
- Mrs. Harrison used 16 ounces of dark chocolate while baking.
- She used ²/₅ of the chocolate to make some frosting.
- She used the rest to make brownies.
Question:
How much more chocolate did Mrs. Harrison use in the brownies than in the frosting?
The Process:
From the information above, we made a suitable diagram as follows:
Hence, one part equal to .
She used of the chocolate to make some frosting, meaning two of five parts of the chocolate.
And she used the rest, that is, of the chocolate to make brownies, meaning three of five parts of the chocolate.
Finally, let us find out how much more chocolate did Mrs. Harrison use in the brownies than in the frosting. Before that, prepare in the form of a fraction of the part in question.
or one of five parts of the chocolate.
We declare this fraction into ounces by multiplying it by 16 ounces.
Thus Mrs. Harrison used 3.2 ounces more chocolate in brownies than in the frosting.

3÷2 = 1.5, so you can buy 1 lb of apples for $1.50
9 ÷ 1.5 = 6, so you can buy 6 lbs of apples for $9
There are 16 ounces in a pound, so 6 pounds is equal to 96 ounces (6*16)
96 ÷ 5 is 19.2
You cant buy 0.2 apples, so 19.2 must be rounded down to 19 apples
You can buy 19 apples for nine dollars.
you can only buy 6lbs.
1lbs of apples would be 3 with one Oz remaining.
6lbs of apples would have 6oz remaining. so that'd be an extra apple.
6lbs of apples would be 18 apples.
18+1=19
19 apples

Answer:
Choosing a 6 and then a prime number:2/21
Choosing two odd numbers: 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Choosing a 6 and then a prime number:
The probability of choosing 6 out of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 is one event divided by number of total events (which is equal to 7). That results in 1/7. Once 6 is chosen, the probability of choosing a prime number (prime number is a number that can only be divided by 1 and itself) out of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 is 4/6 (prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7 in total there are 4 number and total number of events are 6). Finally, the probability of choosing a 6 and then a prime number is (1/7)*(4/6)=2/21.
Choosing two odd numbers:
The probability of choosing 1st odd number is 4/7 (number of odd numbers is 4 which includes 1, 3, 5, 7 and the number of total events is 7). Once 1st odd number is chosen, the probability of choosing 2nd odd number is 3/6 (number of odd numbers is 3 - because 1 odd number is already chosen and the number of total events is 6). Finally, the probability of choosing two odd numbers in a sequence is (4/7)*(3/6)=2/7.
