Answer:
4 11/12 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between the total weight and the weight of carrots will be the weight of the celery:
6 2/3 - 1 3/4 = (6 -1) +(2/3 -3/4) = 5 + (8/12 -9/12) = 5 - 1/12
= 4 11/12 . . . . pounds
George bought 4 11/12 pounds of celery.
Answer: 4 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. ) give the two fractions a common denominator by finding the least common multiple of the two
this would give you
6 8/12 - 1 9/12
2.) You need to subtract the number of carrots from the entire bag to get the amount of celery
6 8/12 - 1 9/12 = 4 8/12
3.) you would need to simplify the fraction which would end up as
4 2/3
