Final answer:

Robin's basket is heavier than Ted's basket by 2 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whose basket is heavier, we need to find the total weight of each basket.

Ted's basket contains 5 apples, each weighing 8 ounces. Therefore, the total weight of Ted's basket is 5 * 8 = 40 ounces.

Robin's basket contains 6 apples, each weighing 7 ounces. Therefore, the total weight of Robin's basket is 6 * 7 = 42 ounces.

Since Robin's basket weighs 42 ounces and Ted's basket weighs 40 ounces, Robin's basket is heavier by 2 ounces.
