Kaitlynn needs 3 pounds of fruit for a salad.

She already has 3/4 pounds of apples and 1/3 pounds of grapes.

How many more pounds of fruit does she need to buy?

answer:

1.92 pounds or 23/12 lb

Explanation:

first convert 3/4 and 1/3 to fractions that have the same denominator such as 9/12 and 4/12. then add the two numbers together and subtract it by 3 to get the answer. hope that helps!
