Answer:

I'll help you! Answer is 3/2. It's Friday so most people aren't on Brainly doing homework lol

Step-by-step explanation:

The heaviest bag (far right) weighs 4.75 lbs, whereas the lightest bag (far left) weighs 3.25 lbs. As mixed numbers, these would be [tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  and [tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex]. To find how much heavier the 4.75 lb bag is, you must subtract the 2 numbers.

Step 1. Convert each to a complex fraction

[tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  =   [tex]\frac{19}{4}[/tex]

  • Numerator = (4 x 4) + 3 = 19
  • Denominator = 4 (stays the same)

[tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{13}{4}[/tex]

  • Numerator = (3 x 4) + 1 = 13
  • Denominator = 4 (stays the same)

Step 2. Subtract fractions like normal

[tex]\frac{19}{4} - \frac{13}{4} =\frac{6}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{4} =\frac{3}{2}[/tex]  

Final answer: 3/2 (Hope this helps!)
