Answer:
The only correct options are A, B and E.
Step-by-step explanation:
He buys [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds of flour, 12 ounces of coconut, and [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pounds of sugar.
We will add these together, but before that, we convert the 12 ounces to pounds, so that all the units are the same:
1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds
12 ounces = 12 * 0.0625 = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds
He buys [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds of coconut.
Adding all of them together yields:
[tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] + [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds
Let us also convert to ounces:
[tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] / 0.0625 = 56 ounces
Let us also convert 1/2 pound to ounces:
1/2 / 0.0625 = 8 ounces
Hence, the total weight of ingredients that Dwayne bought is [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds or 56 ounces or 3 pounds 8 ounces
Hence, options A, B and E are correct.
