help in fraction please?

Jamie is looking to buy some caramel corn for gift baskets. She can get 4, 1/2 pound bags for the same price that she can get 5, 1/3 pound bags. What is the difference between the amounts she would get? 11/12 pound 1/3 pound 5/8 pound 1/5 pound
--------------------
4 x 1/2 = 2 lb 5 x 1/3 = 5/3 lb Difference = 6/3 - 5/3 lb Difference = 1/3 lb
