Answer 2

Answer:

Maurcie used the greater amount of the salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Layla used 0.482 grams of salt in her experiment. At the same time Maurcie used 0.51 gms of the salt.

To find the greater quantity of the salt consumed we will make the decimals equal first.

0.482 has three digits after decimal.

0.51 has two digits after the decimal, so we will equalize the digits after decimal first.

0.51 ≈ 0.510

Now by comparing these number 0.510 > 0.482

Therefore, Maurcie used the greater amount of the salt.
