We bought five 3 3/4 pound bags of bird seed.

A :

Total weight is = pounds of bird seed.

In mixed fraction it is : pounds

B :

As given, each smaller bag contains 1 1/2 pounds, so 9/4 pounds can make:

== 18/12 = 3/2 bags

C :

We can make 1 full bag and will have left out enough for half of another bag. Half of a 3/2 pound is :

= 3/4 of a pound.

hope this !
