Question

Meg ate 3/8 pound of blueberries. Jon ate 7/8 pound of blueberries. How many more pounds did Jon eat than

Meg?




Please help me

Answer 1

Jon ate 5/8 more pounds of blueberries than Meg.

Explanation:

This is because the question is asking for the difference between how many blueberries Meg ate, and how many Jon ate. Therefore, we have to use subtraction.

7/8 - 3/8 = 5/8, therefore Jon ate 5/8 lb more than Meg.

Answer 2

4/8 more pounds

Explanation:

7/8-3/8=4/8
