A baker used 5 7/10 bags of flour one week. The same baker used 7 3/10 bags the next week.

Question

How many more bags of flour did the baker use the second week than the first week?

1 4/10 bags
1 6/10 bags
2 4/10 bags
2 6/10 bags

Answer 1

The baker used 5 7/10 bags of flour the first week and 7 3/10 bags the second week.

7 3/10 - 5 7/10 = 73/10 - 57/10 = 16/10 = 1 6/10

Therefore, the baker used 1 6/10 more bags of flour the second week than the first week.

So the answer is: 1 6/10 bags.
