Answer 1

2.33 kg

Explanation:

If the baker needs to use 2.327 kilograms of blueberries, we are going to subtract the amount of the packages to the amount he needs and we'll see which is the smallest number.

In the case of 2.3, 2.327 - 2.3 = .027

In the case of 2.42, 2.327 - 2.42 = -0.09

In the case of 2.33, 2.327 - 2.33 = -0.003

In the case of 2.4, 2.327 - 2.4 = -0.07

Therefore, the closest amount to 2.327 is the 2.33 package.
