Alexie, Kaitlyn and Enrique were all gathering pecans for Mrs. Martinez. If Alexie gathered #2 1/2# pounds, Kaitlyn gathered 3.25 pounds, and Enrique gathered #4 1/4# pounds, how much did they gather all together?

1 Answer

#10#

Explanation:

Alexie had #2 1/2# or #2.5# pounds because #2 1/2# is #2 and 1/2# and #1/2=0.5#

Kaitlyn had #3.25# pounds

Enrique had #4 1/4# or #4.25# pounds because #4 1/4# is #4 and 1/4# and #1/4=0.25#

Together they have #2.5+3.25+4.25#

#=10#
