Answer 1

Answer:

Highlighter of 11 grams is greater mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

One highlighter has a mass of 11 grams.

Another highlighter has a mass of 10,800 milligrams.

We need to find which one greater mass.

We can see both unit of mass different.

First we have to make it same unit and then we compare it.

Highlighter 1 = 11 grams

Highlighter 2 = 10,800 milligrams

We will change milligram to gram .

As we know 1000 milligram = 1 gram

In 1000 milligrams = 1 gram

      1 milligram       = 0.001 gram

In 10,800 milligrams = 0.001 x 10800 = 10.8 grams

Now we will compare 11 and 10.8 number because both are in same unit.

11 > 10.8

Highlighter 1 > Highlighter 2

Hence, Highlighter of 11 grams is greater mass.

Answer 2

The mass of 11 grams is the one with the greatest mass
