Question

2 based on the image, what is the mass of the object being measured?
riders
unit: grams
x 20
600 grams
510.0 grams
501.00 grams
500.10 grams

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the value of each rider

• The leftmost rider (smallest scale) has a value of \(1\) gram (as it's on the \(1\) - gram mark).
• The middle rider (larger scale) has a value of \(500\) grams.
• The rightmost rider has a value of \(0\) grams (as it's on the \(0\) - gram mark).

Step2: Sum up the values of the riders

$$500 + 1+0=501$$

Answer:

\(501.00\) grams (assuming the precision based on the scale markings, the left - most scale likely has a precision of \(0.1\) gram but since the rider is on \(1\) exactly and considering standard balance reading with appropriate decimal places for the given scales, we present it as \(501.00\) grams)
