Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total pounds for 2 kiwi and 3 raspberry

To find the total pounds of fruit when buying 2 pounds of kiwi and 3 pounds of raspberries, we add the pounds of kiwi and raspberries. So we do \(2 + 3\).
\(2+3 = 5\)

Step2: Calculate total pounds for \(x\) kiwi and \(y\) raspberry

To find the total pounds of fruit when buying \(x\) pounds of kiwi and \(y\) pounds of raspberries, we add the pounds of kiwi (\(x\)) and raspberries (\(y\)). So the expression is \(x + y\).

Answer:

Total pounds, 2 pounds of kiwi and 3 pounds of raspberries: \(5\)
Total pounds, \(x\) pounds of kiwi and \(y\) pounds of raspberries: \(x + y\)
