Q. Danielle bought 3563\frac{5}{6} pounds of green grapes and 1121\frac{1}{2} pounds of red grapes. How much more did the green grapes weigh than the red grapes?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline____\_\_\_\_ pounds
  1. Convert to Improper Fractions: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier calculation.\newline356=(3×6+5)/6=2363 \frac{5}{6} = (3\times6 + 5)/6 = \frac{23}{6}\newline112=(1×2+1)/2=321 \frac{1}{2} = (1\times2 + 1)/2 = \frac{3}{2}
  2. Subtract Grape Weights: Subtract the weight of the red grapes from the weight of the green grapes.\newline236−32\frac{23}{6} - \frac{3}{2}\newlineTo subtract, find a common denominator. The common denominator for 66 and 22 is 66.\newline32=96\frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{6}\newline236−96=146\frac{23}{6} - \frac{9}{6} = \frac{14}{6}
  3. Simplify Result: Simplify the result. 146=73\frac{14}{6} = \frac{7}{3}, which is 2132 \frac{1}{3} as a mixed number.
