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.
