Question

On one side of the balance scale, Henry placed a 6-gram weight. On the other side of the scale, he placed a ballet slipper.

Answer 1

Answer:

• A. 6,000 miligrams

Explanation:

A balance scale is balanced when the weights on both sides are equal. Then, since the image shows that both sides are equal, the weight of the 6-gram weight, placed by Henry on one side of the balance scale is equal to the weight of the ballet slipper placed on the other side.

• Weight of the balance slipper = weight of the 6-gram weight

• Weight of the balance slipper = 6 grams

Conversion of units:

• 6 grams × 1,000miligrams/1gram = 6,000 miligrams

• Weight of the balance slipper = 6,000 miligrams

That is the option A.
