This image shows a balance scale in which both the sides are equal.

A.
6,000 milligrams

B.
600 milligrams

C.
0.6 milligram

Answer 1

The answer is A

HOPE THIS HELPS :)

Answer 2

• A. 6,000 miligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

A balance scale is balanced when the weights on both sides are equal. Then, since the image shows that both sides are equal, the weight of the 6-gram weight, placed by Henry on one side of the balance scale is equal to the weight of the ballet slipper placed on the other side.

• Weight of the balance slipper = weight of the 6-gram weight

• Weight of the balance slipper = 6 grams

Conversion of units:

• 6 grams × 1,000miligrams/1gram = 6,000 miligrams

• Weight of the balance slipper = 6,000 miligrams

That is the option A.
