18.87 lbs heavier
Work:
6.29 = apple weight
6.29•4=25.16
25.16 = banana weight
25.16-6.29=18.87

Call the weight of the bag of apples as x (x = 6 2/7)

Since the crate of bananas is 4 times as heavy as the apples -> the crate of bananas = 4x

So, to find the weight difference, we minus those : 4x - x = 3x

Now we convert this : 3x = 3 x 6 2/7 = 132/7

Convert to :
Mixed : 18 6/7
Decimals (3 d.p) : 18.857...
