📝 Explanation:
Each scale has a circular dial with markings:
-
Grams (g): Scales marked from 0 to 1000 g (in 100g increments).
-
Kilograms (kg): Scales marked from 0 to 10 kg (in 1kg increments).
You simply read where the needle points and match it to the correct unit as labeled.
This helps students understand how to interpret analog scales and distinguish between grams and kilograms based on context and scale markings.
