Answer 1

To find the difference between the pounds of licorice and jawbreakers, we need to subtract the pounds of jawbreakers from the pounds of licorice.

The pound of licorice is 1/2,
The pound of jawbreakers is 2/5.

To find the difference, we subtract 2/5 from 1/2:

1/2 - 2/5 = (5/10) - (4/10) = 1/10

Therefore, Marri bought 1/10 more pounds of Licorice than jawbreakers.
