Henry made a fruit salad with 2 pounds of melon and 7 1/2 pounds of berries. How many pounds of fruit did Henry use in all? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
Since both melons and berries are fruit, 2 pounds of melons and 7 1/2 pounds of berries = 9 1/2 pounds of fruit.
9 1/2 = (9 x 2 + 1) / 2 = 19/2 pounds
