Question

At the farmers' market, Wyatt bought 2/3 of a pound of string beans and 1/3 of a pound of lima beans. How many more pounds of string beans did Wyatt purchase?

Answer 1

1/3 lbs.

Explanation:

To calculate how many more pounds of string beans were purchased than lima beans, subtract the amount of each.

`(2)/(3) - (1)/(3) = (1)/(3)`

So, Wyatt bought a third (1/3) of a pound more string beans than lima beans.
