Question

write the possible quantities that can be measured using the weights 1,2,4,5 kilograms
​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can measure quantities, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 kilograms in all together.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to look into all the combinations,

Individually it could be,

1, 2, 4, and 5 kg separately.

And,

1 + 2 = 3 kg

1 + 4 = 5 kg

1 + 5 = 6 kg

2 + 5 = 7 kg

4 + 5 = 9 kg

1 + 2 + 5 = 8 kg

1 + 4 + 5 = 10 kg

2 + 4 + 5 = 11 kg

1 + 2 + 4 + 5 = 12 kg

Hence,

We can measure quantities, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 kilograms in all together.

I have excluded other combinations as they would give us the same result.

For ex:-

1 + 5 = 6 kg

2 + 4 = 6 kg

Hope it helped and believing you understood it........All the best
