The correct Answer is:
To determine whose school bag is heavier between Neelam and Garima, and by how much, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the weights of both bags into kilograms. 1. **Neelam's Bag:** - Weight: 6 kg 80 g - Convert grams to kilograms: \[ 80 \text{ g} = \frac{80}{1000} \text{ kg} = 0.08 \text{ kg} \] - Total weight of Neelam's bag: \[ 6 \text{ kg} + 0.08 \text{ kg} = 6.08 \text{ kg} \] 2. **Garima's Bag:** - Weight: 5 kg 265 g - Convert grams to kilograms: \[ 265 \text{ g} = \frac{265}{1000} \text{ kg} = 0.265 \text{ kg} \] - Total weight of Garima's bag: \[ 5 \text{ kg} + 0.265 \text{ kg} = 5.265 \text{ kg} \] ### Step 2: Compare the weights of the two bags. - Neelam's bag: 6.08 kg - Garima's bag: 5.265 kg ### Step 3: Determine which bag is heavier. - Since 6.08 kg (Neelam's bag) is greater than 5.265 kg (Garima's bag), Neelam's bag is heavier. ### Step 4: Calculate the difference in weight. - To find out by how much Neelam's bag is heavier than Garima's bag, we subtract the weight of Garima's bag from the weight of Neelam's bag: \[ 6.08 \text{ kg} - 5.265 \text{ kg} = 0.815 \text{ kg} \] ### Conclusion: Neelam's bag is heavier than Garima's bag by **0.815 kg**. ---
