Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of lettuce = x pounds
Mrs. Tirado picked 5/6 pounds of lettuce from her garden.
5 / 6 * Total amount = 5/6 x
Mrs. Rampulla picked 2/3 less pounds than Mrs. Tirado.
Mrs. Rampulla = 2/3 (Mrs. Tirado) = 2/3 (5/6 x)
Mrs. Rampulla = 5/9 x
How much lettuce did they pick altogether?
Mrs. Rampulla + Mrs. Tirado
5/9 x + 5/6 x
(25/18) x pounds
