Answer:

The wording of this question is vague.  Are the numbers 3.4, 2.2, and 4.6 the weights in pounds (lbs) of the individual items carried by each hiker?  I will assume that each of x hikers carries 3 items of weights 3.4, 2.2, and 4.6 lbs, and I will assume that you seek the total weight W carried by the group of x hikers.

W = (number of hikers)(pounds carried by each hiker) = x(3.4 + 2.2 + 4.6) lbs.

There is not much more i can tell you without additional information or clarification.
