Jack and Jill each bought 100 pounds of cashews. Jack divided his cashews into 23 equal amounts and put them in paper bags. Jill divided her cashews into 18 equal amounts and put them in paper bags. To celebrate, each ate a bag of cashews. Now, Jack has 22/23 of his paper bags and Jill has 17/18 of her paper bags. Who has more pounds of cashews left?
