Answer: [tex]39\ \text{Ounces}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The amount of cashews is [tex]1\frac{1}{4}\ \text{Pounds}[/tex]
Amount of almonds [tex]7\ \text{ounces}[/tex]
The amount of pecans is [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ \text{Pounds}[/tex]
We know, [tex]1\ \text{Pound}=16\ \text{Ounces}[/tex]
Converting pounds to ounces and adding them
[tex]\Rightarrow 1\dfrac{1}{4}\times 16+7+\dfrac{3}{4}\times 16\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{4}\times 16+7+3\times 4\\\\\Rightarrow 20+7+12=39\ \text{ounces}\ or\ \dfrac{39}{16}\ \text{Pounds}[/tex]
Thus, the nuts weigh [tex]39\ \text{Ounces}[/tex]
