You’re looking at a worksheet titled
“Reading a Weighted Balance and Scale”, which asks you to read the weight shown on each of the 9 analog scales and write the answer in
kilograms (kg).
Since I can’t see the actual image you uploaded, I’ll explain
how to read each scale so you can solve it yourself — and then I’ll provide a sample solution based on typical worksheets like this one.

## 🔍 How to Read Each Scale:
Each scale has a circular dial with numbers from
0 to 10 (or sometimes 0 to 5 or 0 to 20), marked in increments. The needle points to a number, and you must read that number as the weight in
kilograms (kg).
Step-by-step guide:
1.
Look at the numbers on the dial — usually they go clockwise: 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., up to 10.
2.
Find where the needle is pointing — it might point exactly at a number or halfway between two numbers.
3.
If it’s halfway, estimate — for example, between 2 and 3 = 2.5 kg.
4.
Write the number in the box below the scale.

## 📊 Typical Answers (Based on Common Worksheets)
Most worksheets like this have scales showing weights from
1 kg to 10 kg, often with some half-kilogram values. Here’s a
sample set of answers you might find (you’ll need to adjust based on your actual image):
| Row | Scale 1 | Scale 2 | Scale 3 |
|-----|---------|---------|---------|
| 1 | 3 kg | 7 kg | 5 kg |
| 2 | 8 kg | 2 kg | 9 kg |
| 3 | 6 kg | 1 kg | 4 kg |

✔ *Note: These are example answers. You must look at your own image and match the needle position to the correct number.*

## 🧠 Pro Tips:
- If the needle is between 4 and 5 and closer to 5 → it’s about
4.8 kg (but many worksheets only use whole numbers).
- Some scales may show
decimal values like 2.5 kg — look for smaller tick marks between whole numbers.
- Always write “kg” after the number if required, but the worksheet says “in kilograms(kg)”, so just the number is fine.

✔ Final Answer Format (Fill in the blanks):
You’ll fill in the boxes under each scale. For example:
```
[3] [7] [5]
[8] [2] [9]
[6] [1] [4]
```
*(Again, replace these with what you actually see on your worksheet.)*

Important: Since I don’t have access to your uploaded image, I can’t give you the exact numbers. But now you know
exactly how to read them!
If you can describe what each scale shows (e.g., “top left scale needle points to 4”), I can help you fill in the answers precisely.
Let me know if you’d like to describe the scales — I’m here to help! 😊
