Question

Zack bought 2 1/2 pounds of green grapes and 1/5 of a pound of red grapes. How much

more did the green grapes weigh than the red grapes?

Answer 1

Answer:23/10 pounds heavier

Explanation:

first we transform the mixed fraction to a normal fraction

2 1/2 = 5/2

Now transform

5/2 = 25/10

1/5 = 2/10

25/10 - 2/10 = 23/10

So the green grapes weigh 23/10 pounds more than the red grapes.
