Since Timothy collected more, we take the amount Timothy collected and subtract the amount Eric collected from that.

1.8 - 1.3 = .5

That means Timothy collected .5 kilograms more candy than Eric.

Answer:

Timothy:

1.8 kilograms = 1.8 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,800 grams

Eric:

1.3 kilograms = 1.3 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,300 grams

Weight difference of candy:

1,800 g − 1,300 g = 500 grams
