Answer:
2.25 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram showing the weight of bags with grapes is shown in the attached file below.
From the diagram; number of bags of grapes that had a weight of [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] pounds or less is:
[tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] pounds = 3
[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] pounds = 4
[tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex] pounds = 1
Thus; the total is = 3+4+1 = 8
However, The total weight of the grapes in the bag that had a weight of [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] pounds or less is :
= [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}(3) + \dfrac{1}{4}(4) + \dfrac{1}{8}(1)[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{9}{8} + 1 + \dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{9+8+1}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{18}{8}[/tex]
= 2.25 pounds
