Question

Ted and Robin each gave a basket of green apples to their friend Lily. Ted’s basket contains 5 apples, each weighing 7 1/4 ounces. Robin’s basket contains 6 apples, each weighing 6 1/4 ounces. Whose basket is heavier and by how much?

Answer 1

Robins basket is heavier.
Teds basket: 5x7.25=36.25
Robins basket: 6x6.25=37.5
37.5-36.25= 1.25
It is heavier by 1.25 ounces or 1 and 1/4 ounces
