Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Isaiah puts a [tex]10[/tex] gram weight on a pan balance.
To Find: how many [tex]1[/tex] gram weights does he need to balance the scale.
Solution:
Weight on Pan Balance [tex]=10[/tex] [tex]\text{gram}[/tex]
Let number of [tex]1[/tex] gram weight [tex]=\text{x}[/tex]
To balance the scale, weight on both side of pan balance should be equal
Total weight of [tex]1[/tex] gram weight [tex]=10[/tex] [tex]\text{gram}[/tex]
number of [tex]1[/tex] gram weights, [tex]\text{x}=\frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{weight of one weight}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{x}=10[/tex]
Hence isaiah need [tex]10[/tex] weights of [tex]1[/tex] [tex]\text{gram}[/tex] to balance the scale.
