Answer 1

Jessica collects 2 1/4 more pounds of aluminum cans then Mia.

Explanation:

Mia has 3 3/4 she collected Monday, and 1 2/4 she collected Tuesday. If you add those together your sum will be 5 1/4.

Jessica collected 4 1/4 Monday, and 3 1/4 Tuesday. If you add those together your sum would be 7 2/4 also known as 7 1/2.

Then you would subtract 7 2/4 and 5 1/4 which will give you your answer 2 1/4.

hope this helps!✌️
