Answer 1

To find the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets, we need to multiply the weight of one basket by the number of baskets.

The weight of one basket is 1 1/2 lb, which can be written as 3/2 lb.

The number of baskets is 10.

Multiplying the weight of one basket by the number of baskets gives us 10 * 3/2 = 30/2 = 15 lb.

Converting 15 lb to a mixed number gives us 7 1/2 lb. Answer: \boxed{7 \frac{1}{2} \text{ lb}}.
