Answer: 10 pieces of fudge

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Weight of each piece of fudge = 3/4 pound = 0.75 pounds

Weight of piece of fudge that Tamika wants to sell = 7 1/2 pounds = 7.5 pounds

The number of pieces of fudge that Tamika will be able to sell at the carnival next Sunday will be:

= Total weight to be sold/Weight of each fudge

= 7.5 pounds/0.75 pounds

= 10 pieces of fudge
