can you me and i will give you brainliest.

2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out how many pounds of jellybeans Betty has you need to subtract 6 and 3 3/4.

To subtract you need to turn 6 into a fraction by putting a 1 under it so it becomes 6/1

Then turn 3 3/4 into an improper fraction by multiply 3 by 4 which equals 12, then adding 3, so its 15/4.

Now subtract 6/1 by 15/4 but first multiply 1 by 4 and then multiply 6 by 4 so that the denominators are the same.

So now its 24/4 - 15/4

Now subtract across, which equals 9/4

This can be changed into a mixed number 2 1/4

one that is bigger than 3 1/2
