I need expression of 3.4, 2.2, and 4.6

Question

On a hike, each hiker carries the items shown. Write an expression in simplest form that represents the weight (in pounds) carried by x hikers. Interpret the expression. 3.4 2.2 4.6 expession

Answer 1

The wording of this question is vague.  Are the numbers 3.4, 2.2, and 4.6 the weights in pounds (lbs) of the individual items carried by each hiker?  I will assume that each of x hikers carries 3 items of weights 3.4, 2.2, and 4.6 lbs, and I will assume that you seek the total weight W carried by the group of x hikers.

 

W = (number of hikers)(pounds carried by each hiker) = x(3.4 + 2.2 + 4.6) lbs.

 

There is not much more we can tell you without additional information or clarification.
