Answer 1

To find the total weight of all the suitcases, we need to add the weights of each individual suitcase together. The weights of the suitcases are:

- Suitcase 1: 2412 lb
- Suitcase 2: 1338 lb
- Suitcase 3: 312 lb
- Suitcase 4: 1734 lb

We will calculate the total weight step-by-step:

1. Add the weights of the first two suitcases:
\[
2412 \, \text{lb} + 1338 \, \text{lb} = 3750 \, \text{lb}
\]

2. Add the weight of the third suitcase:
\[
3750 \, \text{lb} + 312 \, \text{lb} = 4062 \, \text{lb}
\]

3. Finally, add the weight of the fourth suitcase:
\[
4062 \, \text{lb} + 1734 \, \text{lb} = 5796 \, \text{lb}
\]

So, the total weight of all the luggage is:
\[
\text{Total weight} = 5796 \, \text{lb}
\]

However, since you only provided choices and based on them, it seems that I might have miscalculated because none of the listed responses show 5796 lb. Therefore, I'll check my math again to ensure the sum is correct:

1. First suitcase: **2412 lb**
2. Second suitcase: **1338 lb**
3. Third suitcase: **312 lb**
4. Fourth suitcase: **1734 lb**

Now let's add them up:

- **2412 + 1338 = 3750 lb**
- **3750 + 312 = 4062 lb**
- **4062 + 1734 = 5796 lb**

Let's check if we can check:

- 2412 + 1338 = 3750
- 3750 + 312 = 4062
- 4062 + 1734 = 5796.

All calculations are consistent.

It seems the total weight again does not match the given options, so it appears there may be an error in the choices listed.

Please double-check the weights or options provided for accuracy.
