Answer 1

`0.403g`

Explanation:

If a pencil weighs `0.827` grams while a ball point weighs `1.23` grams, and you want to find the difference in weight between the two writing utensils, then subtract the smaller weight from the larger weight.

`1.23g-0.827g`

`=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)0.403gcolor(white)(a/a)|)))`
