Question

Marlene decided to buy 2 bags of apples weighing 3 1/4 pounds each, instead of 3 bags weighing 2 2/5 pounds each. Did she end up with more apples or fewer apples by buying the bigger bags?
To find the total weight of 2 bags of apples weighing 3 and 1/4 pounds, multiply.

Answer Choices: 5 1/4, 5 1/2, 6 1/4, 6 1/2.

To find the total weight of 3 bags weighing 2 and 2/5 pounds, multiply.

Answer Choices: 5 2/5, 6 2/5, 7 1/5, 7 2/5.

She ended up purchasing [fewer, more, the same amount of,] apples by buying the bigger bags.

SHORT QUESTION (answer if you are too lazy to rad all of this lol like me): Multiply 3 and 1/4 times 2, Multiply 2 and 2/5 times 3. Thanks <3

I will mark brainliest if the answer is correct :) But you have to ask for brainliest too! Thanks so much, I really need a quick answer :)

Answer 1

The first fill in the blank is 6 1/2

The second one is 7 1/5

So, she ended up buying fewer apples

Can I have a brainliest?
