Question

Compare the amount of ice cream and candy sold on Sunday in a carnival and find the correct relationship.

• A. Ice cream = Candy
• B. Ice cream > Candy
• C. Ice cream < Candy
• D. Can't be compared

Answer 1

The correct option is C Ice cream < Candy

Amount of ice cream sold = 541.331 lb
Amount of candy sold = 541.642 lb

From the place value table, you get:


Comparing the digits in each place from left to right, you get the first set of different digits at the tenths place.

At the tenths place, 3 < 6.

∴ 541.331 < 541.642

So, wee see that the amount of Ice-cream sold on a sunday will be less than amount of Candy.
