A bag of chocolates is labeled to contain 0.384 pound of chocolates. The actual weight of the chocolates is 0.3798 pound. Are the chocolates heavier or lighter than the weight stated on the label? Explain how you know.

The actual weight of the chocolate is a small bit less than the weight stated on the bag. I know this because 0.384 is heavier than 0.3798 due to the number in the hundreds place being larger.
