During a film, Gavin ate 2 1/3 handfuls of snack mix, and Aisha ate 2/3 of a handful. How much more did Gavin eat?

$\huge{\mathcal{\underline{\underline{SoluTion:}}}}$

$Amount \: Gavin \: ate = 2 \ \frac{1}{3} \\ = \frac{7}{3} \\ Amount \: Aisha \: ate = \frac{2}{3}$

We have to find how much more did Gavin ate.

So, we have to subtract Gavin's part from Aisha's part.

$= = > \frac{7}{3} - \frac{2}{3} \\ = \frac{7 - 2}{3} \\ = \frac{5}{3}$

Therefore, Gavin ate 5/3 handfuls of snack mix more than Aisha.
