Kevin has 3 bags of apples weighing a total of 22 1/2 pounds. Two of the bags weigh 6 3/8 pounds and 3 1/4 pounds. How much does the third bag weigh?

A. 11 7/8
B. 12 4/8
C. 12 7/8
D. 13 5/8

Asked by Yamilettecuello

Answer (3)

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.
