Answer 1

Answer:

1.675 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Hannah mixed 6.83 lb of pretzels with 3.57 lb of popcorn.

So, after mixing, the total amount of mixture is

6.83 lb + 3.57 lb = 10.40 lb.

After filling up 6 bags that were the same size with the mixture, she had 0.35 lb left, so 0.35 lb of the mixture is not in the bag.

So,he total amount of mixture in 6 bags = 10.40 lb - 0.35 lb=10.05 lb, which is the weight of 6 bags.

The weight of one bag =\frac {10.05}{6} lb

=1.675 lb

As all the bags are of the same size, so the weight of all the bags are same,

Hence, the weight of each bag is 1.675 lb.
