Answer: The amount she puts in a bag  = 0.912 pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Amount of red licorice purchased by Christy = 6.75 pounds

Amount of black licorice purchased by Christy  = 2.37 pounds

Total amount of licorice purchased by Christy =  6.75 + 2.37 pounds

= 9.12  pounds

Then, if she divides the total amount into 10 equal-sized bags  , the amount she put in a bag  = (Total amount of licorice purchased) ÷ 10

= 9.12  ÷ 10 = 0.912 pound

Hence, the amount she puts in a bag  = 0.912 pound.
