Answer 1

Answer: For measuring the given amounts of wheat, beans, tomatoes, rice and sugar, we can use 5 weights of 10kg;  

one 5kg weight and two 2kg;

500g weight;

one 10kg weight and one 500g and one 200g weights;

500g,200g, and 100g weights respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given weights:

10kg

5kg

2kg

1kg

500g

200g

100g

Items:

50 kg of wheat

9 kg of beans

Half a kg of tomatoes

10 kg and 700 g of rice

800 g of sugar

Solution:

i) For 50 kg of wheat: We can use 5 weights of 10kg, since 5x10 = 50kg

ii) For 9 kg of beans: We can do in 2 ways,

a) We can use one 5kg weight and two 2kg weights(5kg+2kg+2kg=9kg), or

b) We can use 10kg weight, and keep one 1kg weight along with beans on the other scale(10kg-1kg).

iii)For Half a kg of tomatoes: We can use 500g weight, since 500g = 1/2kg  ( 1kg = 1000g)

iv) For 10kg and 700 g of rice: We can use one 10kg weight and one 500g and one 200g weights(500g+200g = 700g).

v) For 800g of sugar: We can use one of each 500g,200g, and 100g weights (500g+200g+100g = 800g).

Answer 2

Answer:

In context to the given question

we have to find weighs we will use  For measuring the given amounts of wheat, beans, tomatoes, rice and sugar,

Given weighs:

10kg,5kg,2kg,1kg,500g,200g,100g

Items:

1). 50 kg of wheat ; We can use 5 weighs of 10kg, As 5x10 = 50kg

2). 9 kg of beans; We can use one 5kg weigh and two 2kg weighs i.e.(5kg+2kg+2kg=9kg)

3). Half a kg of tomatoes; We can use 500g weigh, as 500g = 1/2kg

4).10 kg and 700 g of rice; We can use one 10kg weigh and one 500g and one 200g weighs (500g+200g = 700g)=10kg700gm

5).800 g of sugar; We can use one of each 500g,200g, and 100g weighs (500g+200g+100g = 800g)
