Mrs. Long bought 4 types of fruit at the market.
● 2 cantaloupes that each weighed 1.9 pounds
● 6 peaches that each weighed 0.35 pounds
● 4 apples that weighed a total of 1.25 pounds
● 2 pounds of bananas
What was the total weight of the four fruits she bought?
2x1.9=3.8
6x0.35=2.1
(3.8 + 2.1)+( 1.25 + 2)
5.9 +3.25=9.15
9.15 pounds
That’s how you do it.
To find the total weight of the four fruits, you need to add up the weight of each type of fruit.
The weight of the cantaloupes is given as 1.9 pounds each, and Mrs. Long bought 2 cantaloupes. So the total weight of the cantaloupes is 1.9 * 2 = 3.8 pounds.
The weight of the peaches is given as 0.35 pounds each, and Mrs. Long bought 6 peaches. So the total weight of the peaches is 0.35 * 6 = 2.1 pounds.
The weight of the apples is given as a total of 1.25 pounds.
The weight of the bananas is given as 2 pounds.
To find the total weight, you need to add up all the weights. So the total weight of the four fruits is 3.8 + 2.1 + 1.25 + 2 = 9.15 pounds.
Therefore, the total weight of the four fruits Mrs. Long bought is 9.15 pounds.
