The actual weight of the chocolate is a small bit less than the weight stated on the bag. I know this because 0.384 is heavier than 0.3798 due to the number in the hundreds place being larger.

Answer:

The answer to your question is the chocolates are slightly lighter than the weight stated on the label.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

The label says 0.384 pounds

Actual mass = 0.3798 pounds

Process

To solve this problem the only thing we must do is substrate the actual weight of chocolates to the weight of chocolates stated on the label.

If the result is positive, then the chocolates are lighter

If the result is negative, then the chocolates are heavier

0.384 pounds - 0.3798 pounds = 0.0042
