sandra and her friend went to the candy store. each of them purchased a bag of jelly beans. sandra's bag weighed 1.25 pounds. Her friend's bag weighted 1.05 pounds. who bought more candy? is it subtraction or division thanks ?

Respuesta :

You would subtract.

The question is asking who has more, so to find out, you need to take away the smaller amount from the bigger amount. (1.25-1.05)

So Sandra bought more candy. Hope this helps!



PLS mark as brainliest

Sandra got more. We don't use subtraction or division in this.

We directly check - is 1.25 more or 1.05.

So in statements  it can be written like this-

Weight of candy Sandra purchased - 1.25

Weight of candy her friend purchased - 1.05

Therefore 1.25 is greater because the tenth decimal place is having greater value.
