Reading a scale worksheet focused on determining weights using a pictured block scale. Students answer multiple questions by converting ounces to pounds, adding or subtracting fixed amounts (e.g., lighter or heavier scenarios), and combining repeated weights across several identical blocks. Answer key tables provide the correct numerical results for each numbered item, supporting self-check and instruction. Content targets consistent reading of scale values and basic operations with measurement units.

FAQs

How do you find the total weight when you have several identical blocks?

Use the scale to determine the weight of one block, then multiply by the number of blocks to get the total in the required unit (pounds or ounces).

What should you do when a question says the block would be lighter or heavier?

Start from the block’s scale weight, then subtract or add the given amount (in ounces or pounds) to reach the new weight.
