Determine the quantity needed to replace the question mark to make the scale balance The weight times the distance on both sides of the fulcrum (the triangle) must be the same to make the scale balance 6 kg

The quantity needed to replace the question mark to make the scale balance is ? grams

work please, I wanna understand how to do it. thank you:)

3kg = 3000 gm

Step-by-step explanation:

we use this formula

m1x (distance of m1 )= m2 x( distance of m2)

* the distance far from the triangle*

m1 =6 kg

d1 = 3m

m2 = ê (kg )

d2 = 600 cm = 6 m

m1 d1 = m2 d2

6 x 3 = ê 6

ê = 3 kg

mass = 3kg = 3000 gram

good luck!

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
