Question

If I put a 100 gram weight on a pan balance How 10 gram weights do I need to balance the scale

Answer 1

1 kg = 1000 g

 

How many 100 g weights do you need to balance 1000 g?

 

Divide 1000 g by 100 g to get your answer.

 

(1000 g) / (100 g) = 10

 

You need 10 of the 100 g weights to balance 1 kg.
