Oh, so you're wanting to add the two numbers.
6 1/4 + 7/16
Let's review some basics
A) A mixed number can be written as the whole number plus the fraction
B) To add or subtract fractions you must first have a common denominator. In this case, it's 16 (4*4 = 16, 16*1=16)
C) Any number multiplied or divided by 1 is that same number, and
D) Any number divided by itself (or a fraction where the numerator and denominator are equal) is one.
Now, let's put those facts to use.
6 + 1/4 + 7/16 (A)
4/4 = 1 (D)
1/4 = 1/4 * 4/4 = 4/16 (C)
6 + 4/16 + 7/16 = 6 + 11/16 (B)
Brenda has 6 11/16 lbs of apples and grapes.

Don't make the numbers so big by converting to ounces only !
convert to pounds and ounces:
apples 6lbs 4 oz
grapes 7 oz
total weight of fruit 6lb 11 oz
so 6 11/16 of fruit
