Q. Shawna and her classmates placed colored blocks on a scale during a science lab. The blue block weighed 0.40.4 pounds and the purple block weighed 0.30.3 pounds. How much more did the blue block weigh than the purple block?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 0.10.1 pounds\newline(B) 0.30.3 pounds\newline(C) 0.20.2 pounds\newline(D) 0.50.5 pounds
  1. Identify weights: Step 11: Identify the weights of the blocks.\newlineBlue block: 0.40.4 pounds, Purple block: 0.30.3 pounds.
  2. Calculate weight difference: Step 22: Calculate the difference in weight between the blue and purple blocks.\newlineDifference = Weight of blue block - Weight of purple block\newlineDifference = 0.40.4 pounds - 0.30.3 pounds = 0.10.1 pounds.
