• Which pan of the balance will go down? Show by drawing an arrow.


• Is the weight on any of the pans equal to 1 kilogram? Mark it.
• How many grams are there in 1 kg?

Answer 1

• Yes, the weight of the left pan of figure 4 in which the weights measure 55 g, 245 g and 700 g is 1 kg.

Sum of the weights = 55 + 245 + 700 g
= 1000 g
We know
1000 g = 1 kg

So, the weight of the left pan of figure 4 is 1 kilogram.

• We know

1 kg = 1000 g

Thus, there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram.
