Answer: [tex]1\dfrac{11}{12}\text{ pounds}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is provided in the attachment.
Given, Amount blueberry jelly beans= [tex]1\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] pounds
[tex]=\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex] pounds.
Amount lemon jelly beans = [tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]pounds
[tex]=\dfrac{7}{2}[/tex] pounds
Total jelly beans she bought = Amount blueberry jelly beans + Amount lemon jelly beans
[tex]=(\dfrac{5}{4}+\dfrac{7}{3})[/tex] pounds
[tex]=\frac{15+28}{12}\text{ pounds}\\\\=\dfrac{43}{12}\text{ pounds}[/tex]
Amount of jelly beans she gave away = [tex]1\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{5}{3}\text{ pounds}[/tex]
Amount of jelly beans she has left= Total jelly beans - Amount of jelly beans she gave away
=[tex]\dfrac{43}{12}-\dfrac{5}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{43-20}{12}\\\\=\dfrac{23}{12}\\\\=1\dfrac{11}{12}\text{ pounds}[/tex]
She has left [tex]1\dfrac{11}{12}\text{ pounds}[/tex] of jelly beans.
