cans of food collected

emmy
$\frac{3}{11}$
lamar
$\frac{2}{11}$
joey
$\frac{3}{11}$
anna
$\frac{2}{11}$
mariana
$\frac{1}{11}$

if the friends collected 88 cans in total, how many more cans were collected by joey than by anna?

\boxed{} cans

Explanation:

Step1: Find Joey's cans

Joey's fraction is $\frac{3}{11}$, total cans = 88. So Joey's cans: $88\times\frac{3}{11} = 24$

Step2: Find Anna's cans

Anna's fraction is $\frac{2}{11}$, total cans = 88. So Anna's cans: $88\times\frac{2}{11} = 16$

Step3: Find the difference

Subtract Anna's cans from Joey's: $24 - 16 = 8$

Answer:

8
