a.3.8 grams
b.120.01 grams
c.800.0 grams
d.54 milligrams
Solution
The scale measures mass to the tenth of a gram
The scale measures up to 650 grams
a.3.8 grams
This measures to the tenth of a gram (to one decimal place) and it is not up to 650 grams
b.120.01 grams
This measures to hundredth of a gram ( 2 decimal places) and it is not up 650 grams.
c.800.0 grams
This measures to the tenth of a gram but exceeds the 650 grams limit
d.54 milligrams
This is in milligram, so it is wrong
Option a.3.8 grams is the only possible scale measurement among the options.
