Malia ate 0.07 pounds of more sunflower seeds than John
Step-by-step explanation:
Malia bought 2 pounds of sunflower seeds
Malia has 1 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] seeds left
--Convert this mixed fraction into an improper fraction--
To find the numerator: Multiply the denominator with the whole number and add the numerator.
Denominator remains the same.
So 1[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
How much seeds Malia ate = 2 - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{6-4}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] or 0.67 pounds
John bought 2 pounds of sunflower seeds
John has 1 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] seeds left
--Convert this mixed fraction into an improper fraction--
To find the numerator: Multiply the denominator with the whole number and add the numerator.
Denominator remains the same
So 1[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex]
How much seeds John ate = 2 - [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{10-7}{5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] or 0.6 pounds
[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Therefore, Malia ate 0.07 more seeds than John
