6. Poppy spends $\frac{12}{13}$ of her money, and Leo spends $\frac{7}{9}$ of his money. We need to find out how much more money Leo spends than Poppy.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to calculate how much Poppy spends.
Poppy spends 1213\frac{12}{13} of $
2

6. Amount Poppy spends = $\frac{12}{13} \times 26 = 12 \times \frac{26}{13} = 12 \times 2 = 24$ pounds.

Next, we need to calculate how much Leo spends.
Leo spends 79\frac{7}{9} of $
3

6. Amount Leo spends = $\frac{7}{9} \times 36 = 7 \times \frac{36}{9} = 7 \times 4 = 28$ pounds.

Now, we need to find the difference between the amount Leo spends and the amount Poppy spends.
