[tex]8 ( \frac{3}{4} ) \times 7( \frac{4}{5} ) = 33.6[/tex]

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).
