Calculate Total Weight: She makes seven 31-pound snack bags. Calculate total weight of snack bags: 7×(31)=37 pounds.
Subtract Total Weight: Subtract the total weight of snack bags from the initial amount of trail mix to find out how much is left for her brother: (617)−(37).
Find Common Denominator: To subtract the fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator for 6 and 3 is 6. Convert 37 to 614: (617)−(614).
