Explanation:

Locations:

P = 0.30

Q = 1.10

R = 2.80

S = 4.40

Statements:

A. P + Q > R

B. P > S - Q

C. S > R + Q

Find the correct statement:

P + Q > R

0.30 + 1.10 > 2.80

1.40 > 2.80

This statement is incorrect

P > S - Q

0.30 > 4.40 - 1.10

0.30 > 3.30

This statement is incorrect

S > R + Q

4.40 > 2.80 + 1.10

4.40 > 3.90

This statement is correct

Therefore, the correct statement is S > R + Q

Hope this helps!
