A butcher has a beam balance and masses of 0.5 kg and 2 kg. How would he measure 1.5 kg of meat on the beam balance at once?

Answer :

Answer: The butcher will balance the meat and the 0.5 kg mass on one side of the beam balance and 2 kg mass on the other side of the beam balance.

Explanation:

When the beam balances then the amount of meat measured will be exactly 1.5 kg as required. Since the 1.5 kg meat and 0.5 kg mass is equivalent to the 2 kg on the other side of the beam balance.
