To find the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets, we need to multiply the number of baskets by the weight of each basket.
10 baskets * 112lb/basket = 1120lb
So, the total weight of all the vegetables in the baskets is 1120 pounds.
We can convert this answer to a mixed number by dividing the total weight by 100 to get the whole number part, and using the remainder as the numerator in a fraction with the denominator of the original unit (1 pound).
1120lb รท 100 = 11 remainder 20
The mixed number representation is 11 20/100 pounds.
However, we can simplify the fraction by reducing it to lowest terms.
20/100 can be divided by 20 (both numerator and denominator) to get 1/5.
So, the simplified mixed number representation is 11 1/5 pounds.
