To find the **total weight** of Maya's three packages, you simply need to add the weights of each package together.

Here are the weights of the packages:

- **Package 1:** 4.5 pounds
- **Package 2:** 2.75 pounds
- **Package 3:** 3.4 pounds

**Step-by-Step Calculation:**

1. **Add the first two packages:**
   $$
   4.5 \, \text{pounds} + 2.75 \, \text{pounds} = 7.25 \, \text{pounds}
   $$

2. **Add the third package to the sum:**
   $$
   7.25 \, \text{pounds} + 3.4 \, \text{pounds} = 10.65 \, \text{pounds}
   $$

**Total Weight:**  
$$
10.65 \, \text{pounds}
$$

So, the **total weight** of the three packages is **10.65 pounds**.
The total weight of the three packages is 10.65 pounds.
