There are 8 bags of potatoes in total (3 bags of 5 and 1/4 pounds, 3 bags of 5 and 1/2 pounds, and 2 bags of 5 and 3/4 pounds).
In total, the bags of potatoes weigh:
3 * 5 + 3 * 5.5 + 2 * 5.75 = 15 + 16.5 + 11.5 = 43 pounds
So, there are 43 pounds of potatoes in bags.
Frederic has 80 pounds of potatoes in total.
To find out how many more pounds of potatoes are in bags than in crates, we subtract the weight of the bags from the total weight:
80 - 43 = 37 pounds
Therefore, there are 37 more pounds of potatoes in bags than in crates.
As a fraction, 37 pounds can be written as 37/1.
