The scale's needle is off. When one bunch of bananas was placed on the scale, it showed 1.5 kg. When a larger bunch of bananas was placed on the scale, it showed 2.5 kg. When both bunches of bananas were weighed together, the scale showed 3.5 kg. What is the actual weight of the bunches of bananas?
The pointer shifts twice for the total weight of $1.5+2.5=4$ kg, but only once for the weight of 3.5 kg. Therefore, the pointer shift is $4-3.5=0.5$ kg. Consequently, the correct weight of the bundles is half a kilogram less than what the scales show.

## Answer

1 and 2 kg.
