Trudy spent Saturday picking berries at a berry farm. In the morning, she picked 6.92 pounds of berries. In the afternoon, she picked 7.56 pounds. How many pounds of berries did Trudy pick in all?

Answer 1

To find out how many pounds of berries Trudy picked in total, we need to add the amounts she picked in the morning and afternoon.

Morning picking: 6.92 pounds
Afternoon picking: 7.56 pounds

Now, let's add these two amounts together:

\[ 6.92 + 7.56 \]

We'll do the addition step by step:

1. Add the numbers in the hundredths place: \(0.92 + 0.56 = 1.48\)
2. Add the numbers in the whole number place: \(6 + 7 = 13\)
3. Combine the sums:
   \[ 13 + 1.48 = 14.48 \]

Thus, the total amount of berries Trudy picked is

\[ \boxed{14.48} \text{ pounds}. \]
