Question

Alec picked two pumpkins. The first pumpkin weighed 5.7 pounds, and the second pumpkin weighed 7.1 pounds. How much did the two pumpkins weigh all together?

Answer 1

To find the total weight of the two pumpkins, simply add their weights together:

First pumpkin: 5.7 pounds
Second pumpkin: 7.1 pounds

Total weight = 5.7 + 7.1

Now, performing the addition:

5.7 + 7.1 = 12.8

So, the two pumpkins weighed a total of 12.8 pounds.
