Explanation:

Answer 2

0 pounds

Explanation:

Carrie buys 7/8 pound of red apples and 15/16 pound of green apples.

Which answer is the most accurate estimate for how many more pounds of green apples she buys than pounds of red apples?

Total number of green apples - Total number of red apples

Our expression:
`(15)/(16)-(7)/(8)`

`(15)/(16)-(7)/(8) \\\\(15)/(16)-(14)/(16) \\\\(1)/(16)`

Since
`(1)/(16)` is not a full pound (1 pound), our answer will be 0 pounds.

Hope this helps!
