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.
