Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the prime factors of 40:
40 = 2³ x 5
So the standard weights that we need will be 1, 2, 5 and 40
⇒ there are 4 distinct standard weights
Further explanation:
Any weight in between 1 and 40 can be made up by any of these standard weight.
E.G. 39 = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 2
Answer: 4
