Question

Fiona uses (3)/(10) kilogram of almonds for a snack mix. She uses (5)/(10) kilogram of raisins. How many more kilograms of raisins does Fiona use than almonds?

Answer 1

Fiona uses 0.2 kilograms more of raisins than almonds for her snack mix, as calculated by subtracting the amount of almonds from the amount of raisins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fiona uses ⅓ kilogram of almonds for a snack mix and ⅔ kilogram of raisins. To find out how many more kilograms of raisins than almonds Fiona uses, we just subtract the quantity of almonds from the quantity of raisins. So:

• Amount of raisins = ⅔ kg
• Amount of almonds = ⅓ kg
• Difference = ⅔ kg - ⅓ kg = ⅒ kg

Hence, Fiona uses 0.2 kilograms more of raisins than almonds.
