Let's solve the problem step by step.
We are given six objects placed on different weighing scales, and we need to determine the correct
mass with the
appropriate unit (either
kg or
g) for each object based on the scale readings.

🔹 Understanding the Scales:
There are two types of scales shown:
1.
Scales marked in kg: These have numbers from 0 to 10, labeled "kg". The needle points to a value in kilograms.
2.
Scales marked in g: These have numbers from 0 to 1000, labeled "g". The needle points to a value in grams.
We must read the scale correctly and choose the appropriate unit based on the object.
