Grayson and his classmates placed colored blocks on a scale during a science lab. The orange block weighed 5.024 pounds and the green block weighed 0.223 pounds. How much more did the orange block weigh than the green block?

Answer 1

To find out how much more the orange block weighed than the green block, we can subtract the weight of the green block from the weight of the orange block.

Given:

• Weight of the orange block = 5.024 pounds
• Weight of the green block = 0.223 pounds

Now, perform the subtraction:

\[ 5.024 - 0.223 = 4.801 \]

Therefore, the orange block weighed 4.801 pounds more than the green block.
