Tillie fills a basket with apples. The empty basket weighs 1.07 pounds. The basket full of apples weighs 6.93 pounds in all. How many pounds of apples are in the basket?
To find how many pounds of apples are in the basket, we need to subtract the weight of the empty basket from the weight of the basket full of apples.
6.93 - 1.07 = <<6.93-1.07=5.86>>5.86
Therefore, there are 5.86 pounds of apples in the basket.
