Answer:

Total weight of the three fishes is 7.8125 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this type of problem we must be aware about lb to ounce conversion. we know that

1 lb = 16 ounce(oz)

So, 2lb 10oz= (2×16+10)oz = 42 oz

Similarly for, 2lb 8oz = (2×16+8)oz = 40oz

and for, 2lb and 11oz = (2×16+11)oz = 43oz

now adding all 3, we can say total weight = (42+40+43)oz = 125oz

To convert oz to lb again we will divide it with 16 so we get

Total weight in lb= [tex]\frac{125}{16}[/tex] = 7.8125 lb

Therefore total weight of three fishes in ounce is 125oz or 7.8125lbs
