To find out how many pounds of berries Trudy picked in total, we need to add the amounts she picked in the morning and afternoon.
Morning picking: 6.92 pounds
Afternoon picking: 7.56 pounds
Now, let's add these two amounts together:
\[
6.92 + 7.56
\]
We'll do the addition step by step:
1. Add the numbers in the hundredths place: \(0.92 + 0.56 = 1.48\)
2. Add the numbers in the whole number place: \(6 + 7 = 13\)
3. Combine the sums:
\[
13 + 1.48 = 14.48
\]
Thus, the total amount of berries Trudy picked is
\[
\boxed{14.48} \text{ pounds}.
