Let's solve this step-by-step.
This worksheet is about
comparing masses using the symbols:
-
> (greater than)
-
< (less than)
-
= (equal to)
Each question shows two weights on a balance scale. You need to determine which side is heavier, lighter, or if they are equal, and fill in the correct symbol in the box.

Step 1: Understand the example
In the
example, we have:
- Left side:
1kg
- Right side:
200g
We need to compare them.
But note:
1kg = 1000g
So:
- 1000g vs 200g → 1000g > 200g
So the correct symbol is
>
✔ Example answer:
>

Now let’s go through each question.
---
1. 100g ___ 250g
- 100g < 250g
✔ Answer:
<
---
2. 190g ___ 750g
- 190g < 750g
✔ Answer:
<
---
3. 2kg ___ 2000g
Convert 2kg to grams:
2kg = 2000g
So: 2000g = 2000g
✔ Answer:
=
---
4. 600g ___ 600g
Same mass → equal
✔ Answer:
=
---
5. 300g ___ 800g
300g < 800g
✔ Answer:
<
---
6. 550g ___ 150g
550g > 150g
✔ Answer:
>
---
7. 3000g ___ 3kg
Convert 3kg to grams:
3kg = 3000g
So: 3000g = 3000g
✔ Answer:
=
---
8. 225g ___ 552g
225g < 552g
✔ Answer:
<
---
9. 467g ___ 184g
467g > 184g
✔ Answer:
>

Summary of Comparisons:
| Question | Left Side | Right Side | Symbol |
|--------|-----------|------------|--------|
| 1 | 100g | 250g | < |
| 2 | 190g | 750g | < |
| 3 | 2kg | 2000g | = |
| 4 | 600g | 600g | = |
| 5 | 300g | 800g | < |
| 6 | 550g | 150g | > |
| 7 | 3000g | 3kg | = |
| 8 | 225g | 552g | < |
| 9 | 467g | 184g | > |
| 10 | 108g | 884g | < |
