Question

read each scale to find the mass. then, write each mass. 2 __ kg __ g

Explanation:

Step1: Identify major scale value

The pointer is between 2 and 3 kg, so the whole number part is 2 kg.

Step2: Calculate minor scale value

Each major mark (1 kg) has 10 small divisions, so each small division is $\frac{1000}{10}=100$ g. The pointer is 2 small divisions past 2 kg, so $2\times100=200$ g.

Answer:

2 kg 200 g
