Martin will have to mark 0.125 on the
Let the original weight of the scale be 1kg. Hence we can say the original mark for 1kg weight is 1 that is:
1kg = 1 ................ 1
Since we are to calculate where to mark for a 1/8 kg weight, we can write;
1/8 kg = x ..................2
Divide both expressions
[tex]\frac{1}{1/8}= \frac{1}{x}\\\\Cross \ multiply\\8= \frac{1}{x} \\x = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]
This means Martin will have to mark 0.125 on the scale.
