1 1/4 + 1/2 + 3/4 = 
5/4 + 1/2 + 3/4 =
5/4 + 2/4 + 3/4 =
10/4 = 2 1/2 (or 2.5) oz's <===

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial weight is given by:

1.25

Then, we add a second weight:

.05

Finally, we add a third weight:

.75

Adding the three added weights, we can find the total weight.

We have then:

1.25+.5+.75=2.5

The total weight is:

2.5

Answer:

eddie now has  2.5 ounces on his line
