Question

On comparing the values of the plastic waste weight to the weight of the food waste, identify the correct relation.

• A. $4.93\text{kg}<4.39\text{kg}$
• B. $4.93\text{kg}=4.39\text{kg}$
• C. $4.93\text{kg}>4.39\text{kg}$
• D. Can't be compared

Answer 1

The correct option is C $4.93\text{kg}>4.39\text{kg}$

Write the weights of both plastic waste and food waste in a place value table.


On comparing the digits from the left, we find that the tenths place has different digits.

So, we can write $9>3$.

∴ $4.93$ kg $>$ $4.39$ kg
