Steven: 5/6 lb of jelly beans and 1/3 lb of gummy bears
2) We can find out the answer by writing out the following expression:
[tex]\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}=[/tex]Since we have different denominators let's find the LCM:
And proceed with the subtraction above:
[tex]\frac{6\colon6\times5-6\colon3\times1}{6}=\frac{5-2}{6}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]2) Hence, the answer is Steven has 1/2 lb more of jelly beans
