Question

If the school bags of Rohan and Ayushi weigh $4.7kg$and $3.568kg$respectively, find:

The difference of weights of two bags.

Answer 1

Step 1. Converting into like decimals:

Given, the weight of Rohan's bag $=4.7kg$

The weight of Ayushi's bag $=3.568kg$

Here, $4.7$and $3.568$are unlike decimals, because $4.7$has $1$ number at the decimal place and $3.568$has $3$ numbers at the decimal place.

$4.7=4.700$

Now, $4.700$and $3.568$ are like decimals.

Step 2. Finding the difference of two bags:

Difference of two bags $=$ Weight of Rohan's bag $-$ Weight of Ayushi's bag

$=4.700-3.568$

$=1.132kg$

Hence, the difference of weights of the school bags of Rohan and Ayushi is $1.132kg$.
