For this case we have the following conversion:
 1 pound = 16 ounces
 Then we rewrite the sack weights:
 14 pounds 9 ounces = 14 9/16
 9 pounds 14 ounces = 9 14/16 = 9 7/8
 Then, we subtract both values:
 (14 9/16) - (9 7/8) = 4.6875 = 4 + 0.6875
 Rewriting:
 4 + 0.6875 = 4 + 6875/1000
 4 + 1375/200 = 4 + 275/40
 4 + 275/40 = 4 + 55/8
 Answer:
 
the weight of the potatoes wendy use for the potato salad is:
 
4 + 55/8 pounds
