Answer 1

Given:

Ashima found 2 boxes of sugar in the kitchen. The weight of the green box is 1.26 kg and of the red box is 1.026 kg. Which box contains more sugar and by how much?​

To find:

Which box contains more sugar and by how much?​

Solution:

Finding which box has more sugar:

We know,

$\boxed{\bold{1 \:kg = 1000 \:gm}}$

We will convert both the weights from kg to gms for easy calculations,

The weight of the sugar in the green box = 1.26 kg = 1.26 × 1000 = 1260 gm

The weight of the sugar in the red box = 1.026 kg = 1.026 × 1000 = 1026 gm

∵ 1260 gm > 1026 gm

∴ $\boxed{\bold{ \underline{Green \:box}\: contains \:more\: sugar}}$

Finding the difference in the weight of the two boxes:

The difference between the weight of the two boxes is,

= $1260 \:gms - 1026 \:gms$

= $234 \:gms$

∴ $\boxed{\bold{Green \:box \:contains\:\underline{ 234\: gms}\: more\: sugar\: than\: the\: red\: box.}}$
