Explanation:

Answer 2

Ari's bag is 1.9 pounds heavier than Juan's bag

Explanation:

Juan’s bag of apples weigh 31/7 pounds.

`(31)/(7)=(31* 3)/(7* 3) =(93)/(21)`

Ari’s bag of oranges weigh 19/3 pounds.

`(19)/(3)=(19* 7)/(3* 7)=(133)/(21)`

`(133)/(21)-(93)/(21)\\ \\=(40)/(21)`

Hence, Ari's bag is 40/21 pounds heavier than Juan's bag

i.e. Ari's bag is 1.9 pounds heavier than Juan's bag
