Marvin bought 7 three-quarter pound bags of candy and then sold two-thirds of the candy to walter. which statement is true? a) marvin has 7/2 pounds more candy than walter. b) walter has 7/2 pounds more candy than marvin. c)marvin has 7/4 pounds more candy than walter. d) walter has 7/4 pounds more candy than marvin.

First, solve the number of pounds of candy owned by Marvin.

Marvin: = 7(3/4) = 21/4 pounds

Then, the number of pounds of candy owned by Walter is,

Walter = (2/3)(21/4) = 7/2 pounds

The number of pounds of candy left with Marvin,

       Marvin2 = (21/4) - (7/2) = 7/4 pounds

If we are to subtract the number of pounds of candy owned by Walter from with that owned by Marvin,

              7/2 - 7/4 = 7/4

Thus, Walter owned 7/4 pounds more candy than Marvin. The answer to this item is letter D.
