Answer 1

Eddy’s plum weighs 3.042 ounces desta’s plum weighs 3.24 ounces whose plum weighs more?how can you tell ?

Desta’s plum weighs more.

desta’s plum weighs 3.24 - Eddy’s plum weighs 3.042 =  .198

Desta’s plum weighs .198 ounces more than Eddy’s plum

You can also tell whose plum weighs more simply by looking at the number in the tenths place

desta’s plum weighs 3.24 and  Eddy’s plum weighs 3.042

in 3.24 the tenths place has a 2

in 3.042 the tenths place has a 0

2 is larger then 0, therefore 3.24 is larger than 3.024
