Solution

The correct option is A Weight of the clothes < Maximum weight

3.28 kg can be represented using grid model as:


To calculate 3.28 ÷ 4, we divide the given model into 4 equal parts:


Similarly, calculating 3.28 ÷ 4 using the standard method, we get:


Hence, 3.28 ÷ 4 = 0.82

Therefore, the weight of clothes in each box is 0.82 kg.

Maximum weight = 0.83 kg
So, 0.82 kg < 0.83 kg

∴ On comparing, we get:
Weight of clothes < Maximum weight

So, the first option is the correct choice.
