Answer:

436 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

You start of by finding the total weight of the pumpkins

                       37 × 48 = 1776 ounces

We know that basket A+B+C has to equal the total weight of the pumpkins

Since basket C is by itself it's weight alone equals p (pumpkins)

A=3p

B=2p

C=p

Now we put the equation together

[tex]total weight of pumpkins= A+B+C[/tex]

1776=3p+2p+p

1776= 6p

Divide the the 6 over to get p by itself

[tex]\frac{1776}{6} =p[/tex]

p=296 ounces

Then you have to add the weight of the empty basket

296+140= 436 ounces
