The\ bag\ of\ grapefruit\ weigh\ is\ \frac{89}{24}\ pounds .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Lynne bought a bag of grapefruit .

$1 \frac{5}{8} \ pounds\ of\ apples,$

i.e

$\frac{13}{8} \ pounds\ of\ apples,$

$2 \frac{1}{6} \ pounds\ of\ apples,$

i.e

$\frac{13}{6} \ pounds\ of\ apples,$

$Total\ weight\ of\ Lynne\ purchase = 7 \frac{1}{2}\ pounds$

i.e

$Total\ weight\ of\ Lynne\ purchase = \frac{15}{2}\ pounds$

$The\ bag\ of\ grapefruit\ weigh + \frac{13}{8} +\frac{13}{6} = \frac{15}{2}$

$The\ bag\ of\ grapefruit\ weigh = \frac{15}{2} - \frac{13}{8} - \frac{13}{6}$

L.C.M of (2,8,6) = 24

Than the equation becomes

$The\ bag\ of\ grapefruit\ weigh = \frac{15\times 12 - 13\times 3 - 13\times 4}{24}$

$The\ bag\ of\ grapefruit\ weigh = \frac{180 - 39 - 52}{24}$

$The\ bag\ of\ grapefruit\ weigh = \frac{89}{24}\ pounds$

$Therefore\ the\ bag\ of\ grapefruit\ weigh\ is\ \frac{89}{24}\ pounds$
