    Jose's football helmet weighs 4 7/24 pounds more than his football.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Information provided to answer the question correctly:

    Jose's football weight = 7/8 pounds

    Jose's football helmet weight = 5 1/6 pounds

    Estimate how much more the helmet weighs than the football. Explain your estimate.

    Difference = Jose's football helmet weight - Jose's football weight

    Difference = 5 1/6 - 7/8

    Difference = 31/6 - 7/8

    Difference = (124 - 21) / 24 (Lowest Common Denominator = 24)

    Difference = 103/24 = 4 7/24

    Jose's football helmet weighs 4 7/24 pounds more than his football.
