The measurements below were made on four different balances: i. 7.5 g
ii. 7.33 g
iii. 7.5201g
iv. 7.490

A student takes a reading from a balance where the display fluctuates between 7.51 g and 7.55 g. Which of the four balances above was used?

a. iv
b. iii
c. i
d. ii

d. ii.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the displayed decimal placed by each balance, we can notice that:

i. Displays 1 decimal place.

ii. Displays 2 decimal places.

iii. Displays 4 decimal places.

iv. Displays 3 decimal places.

Thus, since the measured-out masses have two decimal places each, we infer that the used balance was d. ii as it displays two decimal places.

Best regards!

elements make up everything, and they combine to make compounds.
