Alfonso bought 1/2 pound of raisins, 2/5 pound of walnuts, and 1/3 pound of almonds. Write a comparison statement comparing the weight of walnuts and the weight of almonds. Use <,>,=.

if you find the common denominator for each fraction you get raisins are 15/30, walnuts are 12/30, and almonds are 10/30, so the weight of walnuts > weight of almonds
