Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: $3 \frac { 4 } { 5 } = \frac { 19 } { 5 }$, $3 \frac { 2 } { 3 } = \frac { 11 } { 3 }$, and $2 \frac { 1 } { 4 } = \frac { 9 } { 4 }$. Then, find a common denominator (60) and add the fractions: $\frac { 228 } { 60 } + \frac { 220 } { 60 } + \frac { 135 } { 60 } = \frac { 583 } { 60 }$. Simplify to $9 \frac { 43 } { 60 }$ pounds.
