Answer:

12 pounds and 6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to add up similar terms, ounces with ounces and pounds with pounds:

6 pouns of pomegranates + 5 pounds of melon= 11 pounds

7 ounces of pomegranates + 15 ounces of lemos= 22 ounces,

So the total would be 11 pounds and 22 ounces, as we know 16 ounces make a pound so we have to add a pound an withdraw 16 ounces, so the result would be:

12 pounds and 6 ounces.
