Answer:

1.625 more handfuls

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, we know that Norma ate 3 handfuls

n (Norma) = 3

Next, we learn that Brennan ate 1 and 3/8 handfuls. 3/8 converted into decimal form is 0.375, so Brennan ate 1.375 handfuls

b (Brennan) = 1.375

To figure out the difference between the two, you do Brennan's 1.375 and subtract it from Norma's 3.

An equation for this (if it helps) would be

n - b = x

To solve, substitute the values to find x

In conclusion, Norma ate 1.625 more handfuls than Brennan

♡ Ok now have a great day, you are doing amazing! I'm so proud of you! ♡
