Hii

First, we need to add them

Solving the fraction parts

78+156=?

Find the LCD of 7/8 and 15/6 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 24

21/24+60/24=81/24

Reducing the fraction part, 81/24,

81/24=27/8

Simplifying the fraction part, 27/8,

2 7/8=3 3/8

Next, we need to estimate  3 and 3/8

We do this by first finding the greatest common factor of 3 and 8, which is 1.

So the answer is 1 pound

Hope this helps.

Answer:

0 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrie buys 7/8 pound of red apples and 15/16 pound of green apples.

Which answer is the most accurate estimate for how many more pounds of green apples she buys than pounds of red apples?

Total number of green apples - Total number of red apples

Our expression: [tex]\frac{15}{16}-\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{15}{16}-\frac{7}{8} \\\\\frac{15}{16}-\frac{14}{16} \\\\\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

Since [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] is not a full pound (1 pound), our answer will be 0 pounds.

Hope this helps!
