Question Harpreet’s family planned a picnic over the weekend. Her mother and father packed different food items to take along. The following is the list of fruits they carried.
Among the fruits they carried, which one has the
(a) highest weight?
(b) least weight?
(c) Arrange the items in descending order of their weight.
(a) Weight of the watermelon = 3 kg = 3,000 g
Weight of the pineapple = 1 kg 750 g
= 1,750 g
Weight of the apples = 1 kg 250 g
= 1,250 g
Weight of the mangoes = 2 kg = 2,000 g
Among these weights, 3,000g is the highest, which is the weight of the watermelon.
Therefore, among the fruits they carried, watermelon has the highest weight.
(b) Among the given weights, 1,250g is the least, which is the weight of the apples. Therefore, among the fruits they carried, apples have the least weight.
(c) The decreasing order of weights is:
3,0 g > 2,000 g > 1,750 g > 1,250 g
Therefore, the items in decreasing order of their weights are: Watermelon, Mangoes, Pineapple, Apples.
