Answer :
All bags: 22 1/2 pounds
First bag: 6 3/8 pounds
Second bag: 3 1/4 pounds
Third bag: ???
First of all we need to find the common denominator for all the fractions.
22 1/2 = 22 4/8
3 1/4 = 3 2/8
Now we add both known bags and them substract the result from overall the weight:
6 3/8 + 3 2/8 = 9 5/8
22 4/8 - 9 5/8 = 12 7/8
So the answer is C.

Answer: C -12 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:
- Total weight: 22 1/2 pounds
- Bag 1 = 6 3/8 pounds
- Bag 3 = 3 1/4 pounds
First, we have to sum the weights of bag 1 and 2:
6 3/8 + 3 1/4=
6 3/8 + 3 2/8 = 9 5/8
Finally we subtract the number calculated to the total weight.
22 1/2 - 9 5/8=
22 4/8 -9 5/8=
21 (8/8 +4/8) - 9 5/8 =
21 12/8 - 9 5/8=
12 7/8
3rd bag weight: 12 7/8 pounds
