marri bought one third pound of licorice, one third pound of candy worms, and two-fifths of jawbreakers. How many more pounds of licorice than candy worms did she buy?

1 answer

Marri bought one third pound of licorice and one third pound of candy worms, so she bought 1/3 - 1/3 = 0 pounds more of licorice than candy worms.
Marri also bought 2/5 of jawbreakers, so she bought a total of 1/3 + 1/3 + 2/5 = <<1/3+1/3+2/5=23/15>>23/15 pounds.
Marri bought 0 pounds more of licorice than candy worms, or 0 * 15 = 0 pounds more. Answer: \boxed{0}.
