Question

Jerry takes trail mix on hikes. A package of dried apricots weighs 25.5 ounces. A package of sunflower seeds weighs 21 ounces. Jerry divides the apricots and seeds equally among 6 bags of trail mix. How many more ounces of apricots than seeds are in each bag?

Answer 1

0.75 sunflower seeds more than apricot seeds

Explanation:

you first want to divide each ingredient by 6 for each 6 bags

25.5 oz seed/6 = 4.25 oz/per bag

21 oz apricot/6 = 3.5 oz/per bag

now, subtract the two numbers that correspond to a single bag.

4.25 oz of sunflower seeds - 3.5 oz apricots seeds =

0.75 sunflower seeds more than apricot seeds
