To find the total weight of the four suitcases, we need to add the weights together. Here are the weights of the suitcases in a more manageable format for addition:
1. 24 1/2 lb = 24.5 lb
2. 13 3/8 lb ≈ 13.375 lb
3. 3 1/2 lb = 3.5 lb
4. 17 3/4 lb = 17.75 lb
Now, let's add them up:
\[
24.5 + 13.375 + 3.5 + 17.75
\]
First, we can add them step by step:
1. **Add the first two weights:**
\[
24.5 + 13.375 = 37.875
\]
2. **Add the third weight:**
\[
37.875 + 3.5 = 41.375
\]
3. **Finally, add the fourth weight:**
\[
41.375 + 17.75 = 59.125
\]
Thus, the total weight of all four suitcases is **59.125 lb**, which can also be expressed as **59 1/8 lb**.
1. 24 1/2 lb = 24.5 lb
2. 13 3/8 lb ≈ 13.375 lb
3. 3 1/2 lb = 3.5 lb
4. 17 3/4 lb = 17.75 lb
Now, let's add them up:
\[
24.5 + 13.375 + 3.5 + 17.75
\]
First, we can add them step by step:
1. **Add the first two weights:**
\[
24.5 + 13.375 = 37.875
\]
2. **Add the third weight:**
\[
37.875 + 3.5 = 41.375
\]
3. **Finally, add the fourth weight:**
\[
41.375 + 17.75 = 59.125
\]
Thus, the total weight of all four suitcases is **59.125 lb**, which can also be expressed as **59 1/8 lb**.
