To find out how much more Jackson ate than Donald, we need to subtract the fraction of the snack mix that Donald ate from the fraction that Jackson ate.

Jackson ate 2/3 of a handful and Donald ate 1/5 of a handful.

So, we subtract 1/5 from 2/3:

2/3 - 1/5

To subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator. The least common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.

So, we convert 2/3 and 1/5 to fractions that have 15 as the denominator:

2/3 = 10/15
1/5 = 3/15

Now, we subtract the fractions:

10/15 - 3/15 = 7/15

So, Jackson ate 7/15 of a handful more than Donald.
