Answer 1

The correct option is A Apples bought by Alex weighs less.

It is given that "Alex bought 2.25 kg of apples for 10 dollars. Peter bought 2.52 kg of apples for 10 dollars."

Whole part is same in both the decimal numbers.

Hence, we have to compare the decimal part.

0.25 is less than that of 0.52

Hence, weight of apples bought by Alex weighs less than that bought by Peter.
