Best Answer

There are a couple different types of balance scales. For a triple beam balance, balance the scale, place item in the pan, move the sliders starting with the largest, adjust weight to zero, and add the riders for the total weight. For a one-pan scale, place item in one pan, estimate, place mass on free end until even, then add the masses for the total weight.

What the difference between a balance and a scale?

A balance has two pans, you put measured weights in one and the item you are weighing in the other and when the balance is level you sum the known weights to get the unknown's weight. A scale is an instrument with a readout (digital or analog) from which you read the weight of an object places on (in) the weighing surface/dish.
