Question

The given values depict the amount of sugar used in donut and candy, respectively.


Which product has more sugar in it?

• A. Cannot be determined
• B. Candy
• C. Donut
• D. Both have used equal amount of sugar

Answer 1

The correct option is C Donut

$\text{Let's find the item that}$ $\text{contains more amount of sugar.}$

$\text{Amount of sugar in donut}$ $\text{= 40.40 units}$

$\text{Amount of sugar in candy}$ $\text{= 40.37 units}$

Let's place the numbers on a number line.


$\text{Here, 40.40 is bigger}$$\text{because it is on the right side}$ $\text{of 40.37 on the number line.}$

So, the number on the right side of the number line is always the bigger.

$\text{Hence, donut has more amount of sugar as compared to candy.}$
