Anamika wants to weigh this chair using the weighing machine. Can you suggest a way for doing this?
Solution
Anamika should put a flat wooden slab on the weighing machine, oh which chair can be kept easily, and record its weight. Then she should put the chair on the slab kept on the weighing machine.
