Given:
one of the heaviest bags weigh:
[tex]=\text{ 4}\frac{1}{2}\text{ lb}[/tex]
One of the lightest bag weigh:
[tex]=\text{ 3}\frac{1}{4}\text{ lb}[/tex]
Next, we take the difference in the weights:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\text{ 4}\frac{1}{2}\text{ - 3}\frac{1}{4} \\ \text{= }\frac{9}{2}\text{ - }\frac{13}{4} \\ =\text{ }\frac{18-13}{4} \\ =\text{ }\frac{5}{4} \\ =\text{ 1}\frac{1}{4}\text{ lb} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]=\text{ 1}\frac{1}{4}\text{ lb}[/tex]
