Answer 1

`1(5)/(16)` pounds

Explanation:

We are given,

Amount of yogurt in Sarah's cup = 14 oz

Amount of yogurt in her father's cup =
`(14)/(2)` = 7 oz

Thus, we get,

Total amount of yogurt bought by them = 14 + 7 = 21 oz

Since, 1 oz = 0.0625 pounds.

So, 21 pounds = 1.3125 pounds =
`1(5)/(16)` pounds

Hence, they bought
`1(5)/(16)` pounds on this visit.
