I don't either.
This problem is missing some vital information. How much does each pound of pumpkins cost?
Or -- are you supposed to find the total weight of the pumpkins?
something is missing, like the cost per lb?
Sorry i ment what is the total Weight.
Change the fractions to their equivalent fractions and add.
The common denominator is 16.

To find the total cost of the pumpkins, we first need to know the price per pound. Once we have that information, we can multiply the weight of each pumpkin by its respective price per pound and then add up the costs.
Let's say the price per pound is $2.50.
To find the cost of each pumpkin, we multiply its weight by the price per pound:
1. Pumpkin 1: 24 1/8 lb * $2.50/lb = $60.25
2. Pumpkin 2: 18 1/2 lb * $2.50/lb = $46.25
3. Pumpkin 3: 32 5/16 lb * $2.50/lb = $80.78
Now let's find the total cost by adding up the individual costs of each pumpkin:
$60.25 + $46.25 + $80.78 = $187.28
Therefore, the total cost of the pumpkins is $187.28.
