Question

Carrie buys 7/8 pound of red apples and 15/16 pound of green apples. Which answer is the most accurate estimate for how many more pounds of green apples she buys than pounds of red apple?
0 pounds

12 pound

1 pound

Answer 1

I would say (0 pounds)
If you find the same denominator for both fractions you’d see that 7/8= 14/16 and 15/16 would stay the same so they are 1/16 apart meaning it’s closer to 0 than to 1.

Answer 2

1 pound would be the correct answer I think
