[tex] \frac{2}{16} = \frac{1}{8} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4} =.75[/tex]

[tex]1+.75=1.75 [/tex]

[tex]7.5-1.75=x[/tex]

I guess you mean what did the bag of grapefruit weigh, correct?

1 (10/16) lbs apples + 2 (3/16) bananas = 3 (13/16) lbs

Total weight 7 (1/2) pounds = 6 (24/16)
minus 3 (13/16)  equals
3 (11/16) lbs the weight of the grapefruit.
