Answer 1

Answer:

She ended up with fewer apples by buying the bigger bags.

Explanation:

The total weight of 2 bags of apples weighing 314 pounds each is equal to:

2 x 314 = 628 pounds

At the same way, the total weight of 3 bags weighing 223 pounds each is:

3 x 225 = 675 pounds

Since 628 pounds is less than 675 pounds, Marlene ended up with fewer apples by buying the bigger bags
