    120 more envelopes
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Given the following:
    ⇒ Marcos can seal 5 envelopes every minute.
    ⇒  Jerry can seal 7 envelopes every minute.
    ⇒ They both seal envelopes for 1 hour nonstop.
    Question to Answer:
    How many more envelopes does Jerry seal more than Marcos?
    Solution:
    Note that: 1 Hour = 60 Minutes
    Thus, we can multiply envelopes by 60 minutes
    Marcos → 5 × 60 = 300
    Jerry → 7 × 60 = 420
    Now we have to subtract to see how many more envelopes does jerry seal more than marcos.
    420 – 300 = 120
    Base on the result, we can conclude that jerry seal 120 more than marcos.

  2. Answer:
     120
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Since,
    Marcos seal 5 envelopes every minutes
    Jerry seal 7  envelopes every minutes
    Both seal envelopes for 1 hour
    Knowing that 1 hour = 60 minutes
    Thus,
    Marcos = 5 × 60 = 300
    Jerry = 7 × 60 = 420
    Now subtract
    420 – 300 = 120
    Hence, Jerry seal 120 more than Marcos.
