Briona used half of the 48 lbs of cocoa to make 0.75 lb bags, which is 48/2 = <<48/2=24>>24 lbs of cocoa.
She used the other half of the cocoa, 24 lbs, to make 0.5 lb bags.
Since there are 16 oz in a lb, Briona made 24 * 16 = <<24*16=384>>384 0.75 lb bags.
She made 384/0.5 = <<384/0.5=768>>768 0.5 lb bags.
Therefore, Briona made 768 - 384 = <<768-384=384>>384 more 0.5 lb bags than 0.75 lb bags. Answer: \boxed{384}.

can you explain it in a easier way/
Certainly! Let's simplify the explanation.
Briona made a total of 48 lbs of cocoa.
She used half of the cocoa to make 0.75 lb bags, which means she made (48/2) = 24 lbs of 0.75 lb bags.
She used the other half of the cocoa to make 0.5 lb bags, which is also 24 lbs of 0.5 lb bags.
To find out how many bags of each size she made, we can divide the total weight of cocoa for each size by the weight of each bag.
For the 0.75 lb bags:
Number of 0.75 lb bags = Total weight of 0.75 lb bags / Weight of each 0.75 lb bag
Number of 0.75 lb bags = 24 lbs / 0.75 lbs/bag
Number of 0.75 lb bags = 32 bags
Similarly, for the 0.5 lb bags:
Number of 0.5 lb bags = Total weight of 0.5 lb bags / Weight of each 0.5 lb bag
Number of 0.5 lb bags = 24 lbs / 0.5 lbs/bag
Number of 0.5 lb bags = 48 bags
To find out how many more 0.5 lb bags Briona made compared to 0.75 lb bags, we need to subtract the number of 0.75 lb bags from the number of 0.5 lb bags.
Difference = Number of 0.5 lb bags - Number of 0.75 lb bags
Difference = 48 bags - 32 bags
Difference = 16 bags
Therefore, Briona made 16 more 0.5 lb bags than 0.75 lb bags.
The answer is C) 16.
Briona made a total of 48 lbs of cocoa.
She used half of the cocoa to make 0.75 lb bags, which means she made (48/2) = 24 lbs of 0.75 lb bags.
She used the other half of the cocoa to make 0.5 lb bags, which is also 24 lbs of 0.5 lb bags.
To find out how many bags of each size she made, we can divide the total weight of cocoa for each size by the weight of each bag.
For the 0.75 lb bags:
Number of 0.75 lb bags = Total weight of 0.75 lb bags / Weight of each 0.75 lb bag
Number of 0.75 lb bags = 24 lbs / 0.75 lbs/bag
Number of 0.75 lb bags = 32 bags
Similarly, for the 0.5 lb bags:
Number of 0.5 lb bags = Total weight of 0.5 lb bags / Weight of each 0.5 lb bag
Number of 0.5 lb bags = 24 lbs / 0.5 lbs/bag
Number of 0.5 lb bags = 48 bags
To find out how many more 0.5 lb bags Briona made compared to 0.75 lb bags, we need to subtract the number of 0.75 lb bags from the number of 0.5 lb bags.
Difference = Number of 0.5 lb bags - Number of 0.75 lb bags
Difference = 48 bags - 32 bags
Difference = 16 bags
Therefore, Briona made 16 more 0.5 lb bags than 0.75 lb bags.
The answer is C) 16.
