Answer:
[tex]10\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
For a recipe,
Cindy needs tomatoes = [tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds,
While, Giovanni needs tomatoes = [tex]5\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds,
If they make both recipes,
Then, total tomatoes they need = [tex]4\frac{3}{4}+5\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{19}{4}+\frac{23}{4}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{42}{4}[/tex]
[tex]=10\frac{2}{4}[/tex]
[tex]=10\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds}[/tex]
