#18 1/2# pounds

Explanation:

Apples picked by Jordan = #8 9/10# pounds

Apples picked by Dion = #9 6/10# pounds

Total apples put in container = Apples picked by Jordan +Apples picked by Dion

which is, #8 9/10#+#9 6/10#

To add mixed numbers, we have to change it to fraction.

Therefore, #8 9/10# becomes #89/10#
and, #9 6/10# becomes #96/10#

Now add, #89/10#+#96/10# = #185/10#= # 18 5/10# = #18 1/2# pounds
