Question

Order each set of measures from greatest to least 1) 1.2 cm, 0.6 in, 0.031 m, 0.1 ft 2) 2 lb, 891 g, 1 kg, 0.02 T 3) 1 1/4 c, 0.4 L, 950 mL, 0.7 gal 4) 4.5 ft, 48 in., 1.3 m, 120 cm

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) 1.2 cm, 0.6 in, 0.031 m, 0.1 ft

The relationship between the units is given as;

m > ft > in > cm

Upon converting the rest units to the lowest;

0.6 in = 1.524 cm

0.031 m = 3.1 cm

0.1 ft = 3.048 cm

The order is given as;

0.031 m > 0.1 ft > 0.6 in > 1.2 cm

2) 2 lb, 891 g, 1 kg, 0.02 T

2 lb = 907.185 g

1 kg = 1000 g

0.02 T = 20000 g

The order is given as;

0.02 T > 1 kg > 2 lb > 891 g

3) 1 1/4 c, 0.4 L, 950 mL, 0.7 gal

0.4 L = 400 mL

0.7 gal = 2649.79 mL

11/4 c = 650.6177 mL

The order is given as;

0.7 gal > 11/4 c > 950ml > 0.4 L

4) 4.5 ft, 48 in., 1.3 m, 120 cm

The relationship between the units is given as;

m > ft > in > cm

Upon converting the rest units to the lowest;

4.5 ft = 137.16 cm

48 in = 121.92 cm

1.3 m = 130 cm

The order is given as;

4.5 ft > 1.3 m > 48 in > 120 cm
