Question

Which of the given fruit baskets weighs the same as 2.5 lbs?

• A. Basket P
• B. Basket E
• C. Basket A
• D. Basket R

Answer 1

The correct option is C Basket A

Let's place the number in a place value chart.


We can see that '2' falls under 'ones' place and '5' falls under 'tens' place.

As we know, to the left of the decimal, adding '0' before a number does not change the value.
Similarly, to the right of the decimal point, adding '0' beyond a number does not change the value.

Hence, among the given options, 2.50 represents the same decimal number as 2.5.
Hence, basket A weighs exactly the same as 2.5 lbs.
