Question

Jenny bought a turkey that weighed 15.75 pounds. Mikes bought a turkey that weighed 21.3 pounds. How much more did Mike's turkey weigh than Jenny's?

Answer 1

Mike's turkey weighs `5.55` pounds more than Jenny's turkey

Explanation:

`21.3 - 15.75 = 5.55`

Subtract the whole numbers first ( Just to visualize it better)

`21-15 = 6`

Then subtract...

`6.3 - 0.75 = 5.55`
