Answer:

1 3/4 lbs of skittles

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy way: 3lbs - 1 1/4lbs = 1 3/4lbs

Complex way:

(I'm assuming "1/1/4" means "1 1/4")

This is simply ~Subtraction~

The total is 3lbs(t) and 1 1/4 of that 3lbs is gummy worms(g). What is left of the 3lbs is skittles(s).

So we need to know what added to 1 1/4 equals 3.

Equation: t= 1 1/4 + s

Equation: t= 1 1/4 + s

We can replace (t) with 3 because we know this variable.

1. 3= 1 1/4 + s

To isolate the variable (s) we need to subtract 1 1/4 on both sides of the equation

2. 3(- 1 1/4)= 1 1/4(- 1 1/4) + s

The right side cancels out = 0 and the left = 1 3/4

3. 1 3/4= s

Flip it around for the traditional view

4. s = 1 3/4

In word form: Skittles equal 1 3/4 (don't forget to add lbs or pounds back into the final answer)
