The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B.

Jadyn and Leah were in a fishing tournament. Jadyn's fish weighed 2.120 kilograms. Leah's fish weighed 2.12 kilograms.

Part A
Jadyn says his fish weighs more because 120 is larger than 12. Is he correct? Explain your answer. Use place value to support your thinking.


640
Jadyn is wrong Jadyn's fish weighed 2.120 kilograms Leah's fish weighed 2.12 kilograms. If we convert given weights into grams 2.120 kg = 2.120 × 1000 = 2,120 grams 2.12 kg = 2.12 × 1000 = 2,120 grams So here we can see that 2.120 kg = 2.12 kg Here we can conclude that after a decimal point value of 0 at end value is nothing like 0.3 and 0.30 are equal.
Part B
Using the values given, create a correct comparison statement of the weights (in kilograms) using >, <, or = .
