Question

Four bags of potatoes weigh 5.72 pounds 3.112 pounds 3.4 pounds in 3.11 pounds. What is the total weight of the bags?

Answer 1

To find the total weight of the four bags of potatoes, you simply need to add their weights together. Here are the weights provided:

- 5.72 pounds
- 3.112 pounds
- 3.4 pounds
- 3.11 pounds

Now, let's add them up:

\[
5.72 + 3.112 + 3.4 + 3.11
\]

Calculating step by step:

1. \(5.72 + 3.112 = 8.832\)
2. \(8.832 + 3.4 = 12.232\)
3. \(12.232 + 3.11 = 15.342\)

Thus, the total weight of the bags is **15.342 pounds**.
