Using the subtraction operation, Robin's basket is 2.75 ounces heavier than Ted's basket.

Weight of each basket can be obtained thus :

  • Number of apples × weight per apple

Ted's weight :

7.25 × 5 = 36.25 ounces

Robin's weight :

6.5 × 6 = 39 ounces

Since 39 > 36.25, then Robin's basket weighs more than Ted's

Difference in weight :

39 - 36.25 = 2.75 ounces

Therefore, Robin's basket is 2.75 ounces heavier than Ted's
