Answer 1

Fatima's claim that she has 0.413 kilogram of rose petals left is wrong

How to determine the amount of rose petals left?

The given parameters are:

• Amount purchased = 0.454 kg and 0.056 kg
• Used amounts = 0.02kg and 0.095 kg

The amount left is the difference between the amount purchased and the amount used.

So, we have:

Remaining  = 0.454 + 0.056 - 0.02 - 0.095

Evaluate

Remaining  = 0.395

This means that the remaining amount is 0.395kg, not 0.413 kg

Hence, Fatima's claim that she has 0.413 kilogram of rose petals left is wrong
