Question

Which of the following machines is heavier? Choose the correct sign.


Machine A Machine B

• A. $>$
• B. $=$
• C. $<$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $<$

$\text{We have to find the machine that}$ $\text{weighs more.}$

$\text{Weight of Machine A = 60.69 units}$

$\text{Weight of Machine B = 60.70 units}$

Let's place the numbers on a number line.


$\text{We can see that 60.69 is smaller}$$\text{because it is on the left side}$ $\text{of 60.70 on the number line.}$

And we know that the number on the left side of the number line is always smaller.

$\text{∴ Weight of Machine A < Weight}$ $\text{of Machine B}$
