bags less than 3/8
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}\longrightarrow2 \\ \\ \frac{1}{8}\longrightarrow1 \end{gathered}[/tex]are 3
to fin the total pounds we multiply each weight by the number of bags
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}\times2=\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{8}\times1=\frac{1}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]now sum
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8} \\ \\ \frac{(8\times1)+(2\times1)}{8\times2} \\ \\ \frac{8+2}{16} \\ \\ \frac{10}{16}=\frac{5}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]total weight is 5/8pounds
