Christy purchased 6.75 pounds of red licorice and 2.37 pounds of black licorice. How much licorice does she need to put in a bag if she divides the total amount into 10 equal-sized bags?

Answer: The amount she puts in a bag = 0.912 pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Amount of red licorice purchased by Christy = 6.75 pounds

Amount of black licorice purchased by Christy = 2.37 pounds

Total amount of licorice purchased by Christy = 6.75 + 2.37 pounds

= 9.12 pounds

Then, if she divides the total amount into 10 equal-sized bags, the amount she put in a bag = (Total amount of licorice purchased) : 10

= 9.12 : 10 = 0.912 pound

Hence, the amount she puts in a bag = 0.912 pound.
