54 because 5 and 4 add up to 9 and it's between 50 and 60.

Leslie Graham · Answer 2

54 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the weight of the pumpkin is between 50 and 60 pounds. The only possible even integers between 50 and 60 are 52, 54, 56 and 58.

Look at 54. The digits 5 and 4 add up to 9. Therefore, the answer here is 54 lb.
