Pudge picked 537 pounds of cucumber.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of picking cucumbers,

Pudge to Ace = 3:4

Cucumbers picked by Ace = 716 pounds

Let,

x be the cucumbers picked by pudge.

New ratio of pudge to ace = x:716

Using proportion;

Ratio of pudge to ace :: New ratio of pudge to ace

[tex]3:4::x:716[/tex]

Product of mean = Product of extreme

[tex]4*x=3*716\\4x=2148[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 4

[tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{2148}{4}\\x=537[/tex]

Pudge picked 537 pounds of cucumber.
