Bananas are on sale at the grocery store.

Alice bought 135 pounds.
Lisa bought 1.54 pounds.
Debra bought 147 pounds.
Ruth bought 1.65 pounds.

Which list shows the buyers in order, from the one who purchased the heaviest amount to the buyer who purchased the lightest amount of bananas, measured in pounds?

Answer :

Debra, Alice, Ruth, and Lisa purchased bananas in descending order based on weight, with Debra buying the heaviest amount at 147 pounds and Lisa the lightest at 1.54 pounds. A scale is used to measure the weight.

To determine who purchased the heaviest amount of bananas to the lightest, we compare the weights of bananas each person bought and list them in descending order:

  1. Debra
  2. Alice
  3. Ruth
  4. Lisa

Debra bought the most at 147 pounds, followed by Alice with 135 pounds. Ruth and Lisa bought much less with 1.65 and 1.54 pounds, respectively.

Using a scale is essential to measure the weight of items like bananas accurately. By measuring each bunch individually, one can ascertain the total weight purchased.
