Problem Description:
The image shows a series of balance scales with different objects on either side. The task is to determine the weight of each object based on the given relationships shown in the scales.
Key Observations from the Image:
1.
First Scale: A soccer ball balances with two cubes.
- This implies:
Weight of 1 soccer ball = Weight of 2 cubes.
- Let the weight of one cube be \( C \). Then, the weight of the soccer ball is \( 2C \).
2.
Second Scale: A snowman balances with three cubes.
- This implies:
Weight of 1 snowman = Weight of 3 cubes.
- Let the weight of one cube be \( C \). Then, the weight of the snowman is \( 3C \).
3.
Third Scale: A gift box balances with one cube and one snowman.
- This implies:
Weight of 1 gift box = Weight of 1 cube + Weight of 1 snowman.
- From the second scale, we know the weight of the snowman is \( 3C \).
- Therefore, the weight of the gift box is \( C + 3C = 4C \).
Summary of Weights:
- Weight of 1 cube = \( C \)
- Weight of 1 soccer ball = \( 2C \)
- Weight of 1 snowman = \( 3C \)
- Weight of 1 gift box = \( 4C \)
Final Answer:
The weights of the objects are:
- Cube: \( C \)
- Soccer ball: \( 2C \)
- Snowman: \( 3C \)
- Gift box: \( 4C \)
\[
\boxed{C, 2C, 3C, 4C}
\]
