The task involves reading the mass measurements from a triple-beam balance scale. A triple-beam balance has three sliding weights (beams) that are used to measure the mass of an object. The beams typically represent different units: one for grams (g), one for tenths of a gram (0.1 g), and one for hundredths of a gram (0.01 g).
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Image 4:
1.
Hundreds Beam: The slider is at
300 g.
2.
Tens Beam: The slider is at
50 g.
3.
Ones Beam: The slider is at
7.6 g (read from the scale below).
4.
Total Mass: Add all the values together:
\[
300 \, \text{g} + 50 \, \text{g} + 7.6 \, \text{g} = 357.6 \, \text{g}
\]
Answer for Image 4: \( \boxed{357.6 \, \text{g}} \)

####
Image 5:
1.
Hundreds Beam: The slider is at
200 g.
2.
Tens Beam: The slider is at
40 g.
3.
Ones Beam: The slider is at
8.4 g (read from the scale below).
4.
Total Mass: Add all the values together:
\[
200 \, \text{g} + 40 \, \text{g} + 8.4 \, \text{g} = 248.4 \, \text{g}
\]
Answer for Image 5: \( \boxed{248.4 \, \text{g}} \)

####
Image 6:
1.
Hundreds Beam: The slider is at
200 g.
2.
Tens Beam: The slider is at
30 g.
3.
Ones Beam: The slider is at
4.2 g (read from the scale below).
4.
Total Mass: Add all the values together:
\[
200 \, \text{g} + 30 \, \text{g} + 4.2 \, \text{g} = 234.2 \, \text{g}
\]
Answer for Image 6: \( \boxed{234.2 \, \text{g}} \)
---
Final Answers:
1.
Image 4: \( \boxed{357.6 \, \text{g}} \)
2.
Image 5: \( \boxed{248.4 \, \text{g}} \)
3.
Image 6: \( \boxed{234.2 \, \text{g}} \)
These are the masses measured by the triple-beam balance in each image.
