Answer 1

To find the total weight of all the luggage, we need to add the weights of the four suitcases together. The weights are:

- 2412 lb
- 1338 lb
- 312 lb
- 1734 lb

Let's perform the addition step by step:

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

2. Add the third suitcase to the current total:
\[
3750 + 312 = 4062 \text{ lb}
\]

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

The total weight of all the luggage is **5796 lb**.

The options you have provided look like they're in a different form, and may also imply some fraction work is needed. However, the total weight, as calculated, is a whole number, so none of those options A, B, C, or D would match the weight we've computed.

If you need the total in a different form, please clarify or confirm whether the weights given were correct.
