Bernard bought 9/10 of a pound of gummy worms, 1/2 of a pound of gummy bears, and 1/2 of a pound of gummy frogs. How many pounds of candy did Bernard buy in total?
Bernard bought a total of 9/10 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 9/10 + 1 = <<9/10+1/2+1/2=19/10=1.9>>1.9 pounds of candy. Answer: \boxed{1.9}.
To find the total weight of candy Bernard bought, we need to add the weights of gummy worms, gummy bears, and gummy frogs.
The weight of gummy worms is 9/10 of a pound.
The weight of gummy bears is 1/2 of a pound.
The weight of gummy frogs is also 1/2 of a pound.
Adding all these weights together:
9/10 + 1/2 + 1/2.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 2 is 10.
Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 10:
(9/10) + (5/10) + (5/10).
Now, we can add the fractions:
(9/10) + (5/10) + (5/10) = 19/10 = 1 9/10.
So, Bernard bought a total of 1 9/10 pounds of candy.
