The total weight of horse, riders and items in total is 2627.44 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Weight of horse = [tex]1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}\ tons[/tex]
Weight of person = 110 pounds
Weight of water bottle = 15 ounce
Weight of basket = [tex]16\frac{1}{2}=\frac{33}{2}\ pounds[/tex] = 16.5 pounds
As weight of basket and person are in pounds, we will convert other two into pounds also.
1 ton = 2000 pounds
[tex]\frac{5}{4}\ tons=2000*\frac{5}{4} = 2500\ pounds[/tex]
16 ounces = 1 pounds
15 ounces = 0.9375 pounds
Now,
Total weight = 2500+110+16.5+0.9375 = 2627.4375 pounds
The total weight of horse, riders and items in total is 2627.44 pounds.
