Weights Needed to Balance Scale

16 oz, 12 oz, 4 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, and you can only use each weight once or not at all, you can determine how much is needed by simply adding.

2 pounds is equal to 32 ounces.

To achieve 32 ounces, you can use a 16 ounce weight, which will then bring the scale to need 16 ounces.

After this you can youse a 12 ounce weight, which brings it down to 4 ounces.

The last weight needed is the 4 ounce weight which will then level out the balance scale.

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,
