To find out how many more pounds of flour Ron used to bake bread than scones, we need to subtract the amount of flour used for scones from the amount of flour used for bread.
Ron used 3/5 pound of flour to bake bread.
Ron used 2/7 pound of flour to bake scones.
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 35, which is the least common multiple of 5 and 7.
To convert 3/5 to a fraction with a denominator of 35, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 7:
(3/5) * (7/7) = 21/35 pound of flour for bread.
To convert 2/7 to a fraction with a denominator of 35, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 5:
(2/7) * (5/5) = 10/35 pound of flour for scones.
Now we can subtract to find the difference:
21/35 - 10/35 = 11/35 pound
Therefore, Ron used 11/35 pound more flour to bake bread than scones.
