Question

Paula bought 3/4 of a pound of green grapes and 1/3 of a pound of red grapes. How much more did the green grapes weigh than the red grapes?

Answer 1

Paula bought 5/12 pounds more of green grapes.

Explanation:

Make the denominators the same

3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12

1/3 * 4/4 = 4/12

Subtract the fractions.

9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12

Paula bought 5/12 pounds more of green grapes.
