Mrs. Meyer buys fruit to make a fruit salad. She buys:

3 cartons of blueberries that weigh 12 ounces each,

3 cartons of strawberries that weigh 16 ounces each, and

4 bunches of bananas that weigh 2.5 pounds each.

What is the total weight of fruit she buys?

A. 5 7/8 pounds

B. 68 pounds

C. 15 1/4 pounds

D. 42 1/2 pounds

C. 15 1/4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our options are in pounds, we would need to convert all our weight to pounds.

Now, by standard conversion 1 pound = 16 Ounce

3 cartons of blueberries that weigh 12 ounces each

3 cartons of strawberries that weigh 16 ounces each

4 bunches of bananas that weigh 2.5 pounds

Total Weight (In Pounds)=2.25+3+10=15.25 Pounds

This is equivalent to  15 1/4 pounds.

The correct option is C.
