Answer:

0 Pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have to make sure that the first or second fraction have the same denominator as the other fraction. For this problem, I will make both the denominators 16.

So, how do you get from 7/8 to x/16? (x is unknown variable)

It's simple, you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the number that gets you to the other number. In other words, 8 times what is 16?

That's 2.

So you multiply the 7 and the 8 by 2 to get 14/16

Now both fractions have the same denominator.

2. Find the answer: is the difference between 14/16 and 15/16 around 0, 1/2, or 1 pound? Well, it is 1/16 difference which is not close to 1, 1/2 but is closest to 0.

(Why would anybody care about their apples weight? Sounds like someone  needs help)

Hope this helps :)
