Three limes weigh 4.28 ounces, 4.82 ounces, and 2.85 ounces. What is the difference between the weights of the heaviest lime and the lightest lime?

Respuesta :

Fahrenheit
The difference in weight of the heaviest and lightest lime is 1.97.

The difference between the weights of the heaviest lime and the lightest lime is 1.97 ounces.

Given to us,

  • weight of lime 1 = 4.28 ounces,
  • weight of lime 2 = 4.82 ounces,
  • weight of lime 3 = 2.85 ounces,

Comparing lime weights,

we see that,

2.85 ounces < 4.28 ounces < 4.82 ounces,

weight of lime 3 < weight of lime 1 < weight of lime 2

therefore, the heaviest lime is lime 2 whose weight is 4.82 ounces, the lightest lime is lime 3 whose weight is 2.85 ounces.
