Answer: 136 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ratio of cranberries and raspberries is 8:9 .

Let quantity of cranberries= 8x , quantity of raspberries = 9x

If quantity of cranberries = 64 ounces

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 8x=64\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{64}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8[/tex]

Quantity of raspberries = 9(8) = 72 ounces

Total quantity = 64 ounces  +  72 ounces =  136 ounces

Hence, the total weight of berries purchased=  136 ounces
