Answer:
To find the difference of the weights, you must subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.
First, we want to convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions
5 1/4 = 20/4 + 1/4 = 21/4
11 1/5 = 55/5 + 1/5 = 56/5
Now, we make the denominator for both to be equal to 20, and subtract to get the answer: 119/20, or about 5.95 pounds.
