Question

B How much heavier or lighter are the chocolate than stated on the label? Explain how you know

Answer 1

A. The chocolates are lighter than the weight stated on the label. This determination is based on a direct comparison of the two weights: the labeled weight is 0.384 pound, while the actual weight is 0.3798 pound. Since 0.3798 is less than 0.384, it confirms that the actual chocolates are lighter than advertised.

B. To find out how much lighter the chocolates are than stated on the label, we can subtract the actual weight from the labeled weight:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Labeled Weight} - \text{Actual Weight} = 0.384 - 0.3798 = 0.0042 \text{ pounds} \]

Thus, the chocolates are 0.0042 pounds lighter than what is stated on the label.
