    Total amount of vegetables consumed per year are 208 pounds

    So per month, the amount of vegetables consumed would be 208 divided by 12 which is the number of months in a year, so:

    208 : 12 = 17.3

    So the average person ate 17.3 pounds of vegetables per month.

    Likewise for the fruits we do the same calculation.

    125 5/8 pounds can be written as 125.625 pounds when you make the fraction 5/8 into a decimal.

    Now we divide by 12, so:

    125.625 : 12 = 10.47

    So the average person ate 10.47 pounds of fruits per month.
