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
