To arrange in descending order or greatest to least, we will first convert all the values in same unit.
Lets convert all the values in kg
1 lb = 0.45 kg
2 lb = [tex]2\times0.45=0.9[/tex] kg
1 g = 0.001 kg
891 g = [tex]891\times0.001=0.891[/tex] kg
1 T = 907.185 kg
0.02 T = [tex]0.02\times907.185=18.14[/tex] kg
Hence all values in kg becomes = 0.90 kg , 0.891 kg , 1 kg , 18.14 kg
So in descending order the values become
0.02T, 1 kg, 2 lb, 891 g
Answer:
0.02 T > 1 kg > 2 lb > 891 g.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given different quantities as: 2 pounds, 891 gram, 1 kilogram, 0.02 Tonnes.
We need to write the given quantities in order from greatest to least.
We know that,
1 pound(lb) = 0.4536 kilogram.
1 gram = 0.001 kilogram.
1 tonne = 1000 kilogram.
We have given different units of different quantities. We can convert the different units of different quantities in a particular unit, say Kilograms(kg). So, we can find the different results by converting the quantities.
2 pounds = 2*0.4536 kilograms = 0.907 kg.
891 gram = 891*0.001 kilograms = 0.891 kg.
0.02 tonne = 0.02*1000 kilograms = 20 kg.
Therefore, the order from greatest to least can be written as: 20 kg > 1 kg > 0.907 kg > 0.891kg.
Substituting the original units given in problem, the order can be written as:
0.02 T > 1 kg > 2 lb > 891 g.
