208 pounds of vegetables.125 5/8 pounds of fruits.

Basically, we need to ding what percetange does fruit represent?

First, we need to find the total number of pounds, so we need to sum them

208lb + 125 \frac{5}{8}lb=208lb+\frac{1005}{8} lb=\frac{1664+1005}{8}lb =\frac{2669}{8}lb

Where 125\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1005}{8}

So, there are 2669/8 total pounds between fruits and vegetables.

To find the percetange of fruit pounds, we need to divide the total number of fruit pounds and the total number of pounds combined

\frac{\frac{1005}{8} }{\frac{2669}{8} } =\frac{1005 \times 8}{2669 \times 8}= \frac{1005}{2669}= 0.38

Then, we multiple by 100 to express it in percentage

0.38 \times 100\%=38\%

Therefore, the 38% of the total pounds represents fruits.
