Question

Trey bought 3 and 3 fourths pounds of apples from the grocery store. Corinne bought 1 and 1 third pounds of grapes from the grocery store. How many more pounds of fruit did Trey buy

Answer 1

Answer: 2 5/12

Explanation:

Trey bought 3¾ pounds of apples from the grocery store. Corinne bought 1⅓ pounds of grapes from the grocery store.

To know how many more pounds of fruit that Trey bought, we have to find the difference between the value given above and this will be:

= 3¾ - 1⅓

= 3 9/12 - 1 4/12

= 2 5/12

Trey bought 2 5/12 pounds more.
