The mixed number is 4 5/12.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
A.
Let Annie's weight be = a
Let Benjie's weighs = b
Let Carmen's weight be = c
One day Annie weighed 24 ounces more than Benjie, equation forms:
......(1)
Benjie weighed 3 1/4 pounds less than Carmen.
In ounces:
1 pound = 16 ounces
pounds =
ounces
or
......(2)
Now adding (1) and (2), we get
a+b=b+24+c-52
=> 
This gives Annie weighs 28 ounces less than Carmen.
B.
We cannot know anyone's actual weight, as we only know their relative weights.
The best estimate would be to assume that they all have an average number of petals.
An estimate of 1,938 petals
21.6 ÷ 0.4 = 54 times for green
21.6 ÷ 0.6 = 36 times for purple
Together, 90 beads. Separately, 54 green and 36 purple.
