The total weight of the packing peanuts is 16 (11/20).
Given that, Laya has 8(3/4) packing peanuts. Each whole bag of packing peanuts weighs 7(4/5) pounds.
We need to find the total weight of the packing peanuts.
How to add the mixed fractions?
Steps to add the mixed fractions are given below:
Step I: We add the whole numbers, separately.
Step II: To add fractions, we take L.C.M. of the denominators and change the fractions into like fractions.
Step III: We find the sum of the whole numbers and the fractions in the simplest form.
Now, the total weight=8(3/4)+7(4/5)
=(8+7)(3/4 + 4/5)
=15 (15/20 + 16/20)
=15 (31/20)
=16 (11/20)
Therefore, the total weight of the packing peanuts is 16 (11/20).
