Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Determine the value of each minor division on the scales.

    Each major division (e.g., from 0 g to 200 g) is divided into 5 smaller segments by 4 minor marks.
    Therefore, the value of each minor division is 200 g5=40 g\frac{200 \text{ g}}{5} = 40 \text{ g}.

  2. Read the mass on Scale A and convert units.

    The pointer on Scale A is at the 900 g mark.

    a) Mass in grams: 900 g900 \text{ g}

    b) Mass in kilograms:

    900 g×1 kg1000 g=0.9 kg900 \text{ g} \times \frac{1 \text{ kg}}{1000 \text{ g}} = 0.9 \text{ kg}

    Mass on Scale A: a) 900 g\boxed{\text{900 g}}, b) 0.9 kg\boxed{\text{0.9 kg}}

  3. Read the mass on Scale B and convert units.

    The pointer on Scale B is two minor divisions past 400 g.

    a) Mass in grams: 400 g+(2×40 g)=400 g+80 g=480 g400 \text{ g} + (2 \times 40 \text{ g}) = 400 \text{ g} + 80 \text{ g} = 480 \text{ g}

    b) Mass in kilograms:

    480 g×1 kg1000 g=0.48 kg480 \text{ g} \times \frac{1 \text{ kg}}{1000 \text{ g}} = 0.48 \text{ kg}

    Mass on Scale B: a) 480 g\boxed{\text{480 g}}, b) 0.48 kg\boxed{\text{0.48 kg}}

  4. Read the mass on Scale C and convert units.

    The pointer on Scale C is three minor divisions past 1 kg (which is 1000 g).

    a) Mass in grams: 1000 g+(3×40 g)=1000 g+120 g=1120 g1000 \text{ g} + (3 \times 40 \text{ g}) = 1000 \text{ g} + 120 \text{ g} = 1120 \text{ g}

    b) Mass in kilograms:

    1120 g×1 kg1000 g=1.12 kg1120 \text{ g} \times \frac{1 \text{ kg}}{1000 \text{ g}} = 1.12 \text{ kg}

    Mass on Scale C: a) 1120 g\boxed{\text{1120 g}}, b) 1.12 kg\boxed{\text{1.12 kg}}
