b.120.01 grams

c.800.0 grams

d.54 milligrams

Solution

The scale measures mass to the tenth of a gram

The scale measures up to 650 grams

a.3.8 grams

This measures to the tenth of a gram (to one decimal place) and it is not up to 650 grams

b.120.01 grams

This measures to hundredth of a gram ( 2 decimal places) and it is not up 650 grams.

c.800.0 grams

This measures to the tenth of a gram but exceeds the 650 grams limit

d.54 milligrams

This is in milligram, so it is wrong

Option a.3.8 grams is the only possible scale measurement among the options.
