Answer:
3.375 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
First change the decimal to fraction.
3.25 = 3 1/4
Then change mixed numbers to improper fraction format.
4 3/8 = 35/8
2 1/2 = 5/2
3 1/4 = 13/4
Next, multiply the fractions so they have a common denominator (try 8)
35/8 * 8/8 = 35/8
5/2 * 8/8 = 20/8
13/4 * 8/8 = 26/8
Add these together. We get 81/8.
Divide by 3 (b/c there are 3 people).
81/8 /3 = 81/24
Simplify.
81/24 = 27/8
This will be easier for you to divide. you should get 3.375 pounds
