Tillie fills a basket with apples. The empty basket weighs 1.07 pounds. The basket full of apples weighs 6.93 pounds in all. How many pounds of apples are in the basket?

Answer 1

To find how many pounds of apples are in the basket, we need to subtract the weight of the empty basket from the weight of the basket full of apples.

6.93 - 1.07 = <<6.93-1.07=5.86>>5.86

Therefore, there are 5.86 pounds of apples in the basket.
