How do you know if a scale is right?
Weigh two objects together.
- Place one object on the scale. Note the weight. Take it off and let the scale even back out.
- If it matches, the scale is accurate. If it doesn’t, try it again and see if it is off by the same number. If it is, it might be that your scale is always off by that amount.
