    Step-by-step explanation:

    Problem: Tom bought 2 5/16 lbs of peanuts and 2.45 lbs of cashews. Which did he buy more of?

    1) We know 2 is equal to 2 so what were looking at here are the fractions.

    2) 0.45 is also 45/100 we can simplify 45/100 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5. Then we get 9/20

    3) We know 1/16 is greater than 1/20

    4) 3/16 is greater than 1/20

    5) 5/16 is 3/16 away from 8/16 or 1/2

    6) 9/20 is only 1/20 away from 10/20 or 1/2

    7) Since the number of cashews is closer to 2.5, Tom bought more
