Math worksheet on comparing mass using a table of item masses and a number line.

Let’s solve each question step by step using the table and number line.

---

Table of masses (in grams):

- grape: 1.2
- dime: 3.8
- peanut: 1.4
- paper clip: 1.0
- pen cap: 2.6

Number line points:

- Point A = 1.0
- Point B = 1.2
- Point C = 1.4
- Point D = 2.6

*(Note: The number line shows marks at 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, ..., up to 3. So we can match values directly.)*

Question 1: Which point on the number line represents the mass of a grape?

Grape = 1.2 → That’s Point B

✔ Answer for Q1: B

Question 2: Where on the number line would you plot the point for the mass of a dime?

Dime = 3.8

Look at the number line — it only goes up to 3.0. But even if it went further, 3.8 is greater than 3.0.

Point D is at 2.6.

So 3.8 is to the right of point D.

✔ Answer for Q2: D

Question 3: Which item weighs almost four times as much as a paper clip?

Paper clip = 1.0 gram

Four times that = 4 × 1.0 = 4.0 grams

Now check which item is closest to 4.0:

- grape: 1.2 → too small
- dime: 3.8 → very close to 4.0! ✔
- peanut: 1.4 → no
- pen cap: 2.6 → no

So dime is almost four times the paper clip.

✔ Answer for Q3: B

Question 4: Arrange items from least to greatest mass.

List all masses:

- paper clip: 1.0
- grape: 1.2
- peanut: 1.4
- pen cap: 2.6
- dime: 3.8

Order from least to greatest:

→ paper clip (1.0), grape (1.2), peanut (1.4), pen cap (2.6), dime (3.8)

Check options:

A. peanut, grape, pen cap, paper clip, dime → ✘ wrong order
B. dime, pen cap, peanut, grape, paper clip → ✘ reverse order
C. paper clip, grape, peanut, pen cap, dime → ✔ matches our list
D. grape, peanut, paper clip, pen cap, dime → ✘ paper clip should be first

✔ Answer for Q4: C

Final Answer:
1. B
2. D
3. B
4. C
