Answer:
Malia ate more.
Step-by-step explanation:
Malia and John each bought 2 pounds of sunflower seeds.
Each ate some seeds.
Now Malia has left seeds = [tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] pounds
Malia ate seeds = 2 - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{6-4}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pounds
John has left seeds = [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex] pounds
John ate seeds = 2 - [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{10-7}{5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] pounds
Malia ate [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pounds = 0.67 pounds
and John ate [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] pounds = 0.6 pounds
Therefore Malia ate more sunflower seeds than John.
