(Keep as a fraction and don’t change to decimal please)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{31}{12}$ more nuts would be used by Miguel then raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Nuts used $= 5 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{16}{3}$

Raisins used $= 2 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}$

Now the difference between them is

$= \frac{16}{3} - \frac{11}{4}\\\\= \frac{64 - 33}{12} \\\\= \frac{31}{12}$

Hence, $\frac{31}{12}$ more nuts would be used by Miguel then raisins
