  • 208 pounds of vegetables.
  • 125 5/8 pounds of fruits.

Basically, we need to ding what percetange does fruit represent?

First, we need to find the total number of pounds, so we need to sum them

[tex]208lb + 125 \frac{5}{8}lb=208lb+\frac{1005}{8} lb=\frac{1664+1005}{8}lb =\frac{2669}{8}lb[/tex]

Where [tex]125\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1005}{8}[/tex]

So, there are 2669/8 total pounds between fruits and vegetables.

To find the percetange of fruit pounds, we need to divide the total number of fruit pounds and the total number of pounds combined

[tex]\frac{\frac{1005}{8} }{\frac{2669}{8} } =\frac{1005 \times 8}{2669 \times 8}= \frac{1005}{2669}= 0.38[/tex]

Then, we multiple by 100 to express it in percentage

[tex]0.38 \times 100\%=38\%[/tex]

Therefore, the 38% of the total pounds represents fruits.
