Answer:

[tex]\frac{31}{12}[/tex] more nuts would be used by Miguel then raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Nuts used [tex]= 5 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{16}{3}[/tex]

Raisins used [tex]= 2 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}[/tex]

Now the difference between them is

[tex]= \frac{16}{3} - \frac{11}{4}\\\\= \frac{64 - 33}{12} \\\\= \frac{31}{12}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\frac{31}{12}[/tex] more nuts would be used by Miguel then raisins
