Question

Josh and David collect pecans for their mother to make a pecan pie. Josh collects 3.25 pounds of pecans, and David harvest 4 3/8 pounds. How many more pounds of pecans does David collect than Josh?

Answer 1

1 1/8

Explanation:

So the first step is to convert all of them to fractions, so 3.25 become 3 1/4

Next, we do 4 3/8- 3 1/4

We convert 1/4 to 2/8

So, it's now 4 3/8- 3 2/8

The answer is 1 1/8
