Step 1: Read the weights from the scales

We have six items on different weighing scales. We need to read their weights and convert them appropriately.

---

#### 1. Grapes
- Scale shows 600g (the needle points at 600)
- So, Grapes = 600 g

#### 2. Papaya
- Scale shows 500g (needle points at 500)
- So, Papaya = 500 g

#### 3. Mango
- Scale shows 400g (needle points at 400)
- So, Mango = 400 g

#### 4. Pumpkins
- Scale is marked in kg, with numbers 0 to 5
- Needle points between 2 and 3, closer to 2 → it's 2.5 kg
- So, Pumpkins = 2.5 kg

#### 5. Carrots
- Scale shows 1.5 kg (needle between 1 and 2, closer to 1.5)
- So, Carrots = 1.5 kg

#### 6. Bananas
- Scale shows 3 kg (needle pointing at 3)
- So, Bananas = 3 kg

Now let's fill in the blanks:

Fill in the correct answer:

| Item | Weight |
|-------------|----------------|
| Grapes | 600 g |
| Papaya | 500 g |
| Mango | 400 g |
| Pumpkins | 2.5 kg |
| Carrots | 1.5 kg |
| Bananas | 3 kg |

> Note: The units are given — grams (g) for first three, kilograms (kg) for last three.

Now, answer the comparison questions:

Use these words: heavier, heaviest, lighter, lightest

---

#### 1. The mango is __________ than the papaya.

- Mango = 400 g
- Papaya = 500 g
- So, mango is lighter than papaya

✔ Answer: lighter

---

#### 2. The grapes are __________ than the mango.

- Grapes = 600 g
- Mango = 400 g
- So, grapes are heavier than mango

✔ Answer: heavier

---

#### 3. The bananas are the __________.

- Bananas = 3 kg = 3000 g
- Compare all:
- Grapes: 600 g
- Papaya: 500 g
- Mango: 400 g
- Pumpkins: 2.5 kg = 2500 g
- Carrots: 1.5 kg = 1500 g
- Bananas: 3 kg = 3000 g → heaviest

✔ Answer: heaviest

---

#### 4. The mango is the __________.

- Mango = 400 g
- It's the smallest weight among the first three (grapes, papaya, mango), but compare to others:
- Pumpkins: 2500 g
- Carrots: 1500 g
- Bananas: 3000 g
- So, mango is lightest overall?

Wait — let's list all in grams:

| Item | Weight (g) |
|-------------|------------|
| Grapes | 600 |
| Papaya | 500 |
| Mango | 400 |
| Pumpkins | 2500 |
| Carrots | 1500 |
| Bananas | 3000 |

So, mango = 400 g is the lightest of all.

✔ Answer: lightest

---

- Grapes: 600 g
- Papaya: 500 g
- Mango: 400 g
- Pumpkins: 2.5 kg
