Answer 1

Martin will have to mark 0.125 on the

Let the original weight of the scale be 1kg. Hence we can say the original mark for 1kg weight is 1 that is:

1kg = 1 ................ 1

Since we are to calculate where to mark for a 1/8 kg weight, we can write;

1/8 kg = x  ..................2

Divide both expressions

$\frac{1}{1/8}= \frac{1}{x}\\\\Cross \ multiply\\8= \frac{1}{x} \\x = \frac{1}{8}$

This means Martin will have to mark 0.125 on the scale.
