Answer:
6.096799125kg
Explanation:
According to the question, three different samples weighed using different types of balance had masses: 0.6160959 kg, 3.225 mg, and 5480.7 g.
Based on observation, the mass units in the three measurements are different but must be uniform in order to find the total mass. Hence, we need to convert to the standard unit (S.I unit of mass), which is kilograms (kg)
Since 1kg equals 1,000,000mg
Hence, 3.225mg will be 3.225/1000000
= 0.000003225kg
Also, 1kg equals 1000g
Hence, 5480.7g will be 5480.7/1000
= 5.4087kg
Hence, the total mass of the three samples (now in the same unit) are:
5.4807kg + 0.000003225kg + 0.6160959 kg
= 6.096799125kg
