From the attached Line Plot, we can see the book weights.

Now, we are told that Sanya carried all the books weighing 2¹/₄ pounds and 2³/₈ pounds.

From the line plot we see that;

Number of books weighing 2¹/₄ pounds are 2 books

Number of books weighing 2³/₈ pounds is 1 book

Total weight of books carried by Sanya = 2(2¹/₄) + 1(2³/₈)

Total weight = 4¹/₂ + 2³/₈

Total Weight = 6⁷/₈ pounds
