Short Answer

Expert verified

The Judy buy $4.0625$ pounds of nuts.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information.

Judy bought $1$ pound $6$ ounces of almonds, $2$ pounds $3$ ounces of walnuts, and $8$ ounces of cashews.

Step 2. Conversion.

We know that $1 p o u n d = 16 o u n c e s$ .

If Judy buys almonds,

role="math" localid="1647932993891" $\begin{array}{rcl} = & 1 p o u n d s 6 o u n c e s \\ = & 1 p o u n d s + 6 o u n c e s \\ = & 16 o u n c e s + 6 o u n c e s \\ = & 22 o u n c e s . \end{array}$

If Judy buys walnuts, then

$\begin{array}{rcl} = & 2 p o u n d s 3 o u n c e s \\ = & 2 p o u n d s + 3 o u n c e s \\ = & 2 脳 16 o u n c e s + 3 o u n c e s \\ = & 32 o u n c e s + 3 o u n c e s \\ = & 35 o u n c e s \end{array}$

If Judy buys cashews $= 8 o u n c e s$ .

Step 3. Simplify.

Toatal number of nuts

$= 22 + 35 + 8 o u n c e s = 57 + 8 o u n c e s = 65 o u n c e s .$

Converting into pounds,

Then, number of nuts

$\begin{array}{rcl} = & \frac{65}{16} p o u n d s \\ = & 4 p o u n d s + 0.625 o u n c e s \\ = & 4.0625 p o u n d s \end{array}$ .
