Kit gathered 5 eggs when she visited her cousin's farm. Altogether, the eggs weighed 225.0 grams. She wrote down the weight of e

ach egg, but missed the last egg. The 4 weights she recorded were 45.07 grams, 45.72 grams, 43.98 grams, and 45.02 grams. Find the weight of the missing egg. Then, to help her uncle figure out which chickens are producing the best eggs, help her order the egg weights from least to greatest. How did place value help you compare and contrast the numbers in problem 5?

Easy, all you have to do is add the eggs which she got the grams for (178.7)

Then, subtract 178.7g. from 225.0g. (46.3)

Then just put the eggs according from least to greatest:

1st egg:43.98

2nd egg:45.02

3rd egg:45.07

4th egg:45.72

5th egg:46.3

Hope this helps!

The missing eggs weight is 45.21 because of you were to add the eggs together (exclude the missing egg) you would get 179.79. Then, you subtract it by 225 and get 45.21. These are the orders from least to greatest: 43.98, 45.02, 45.07, 45.21, and 45.72. The place value helped determine which came first and which came last.
