Question

Which of the following comparisons is FALSE?

a. 4 liters < 1 gallon b. 1 foot < 1 meter c. 25 grams < 1 ounce d. 10 kilometers < 9 miles

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Let's check each one-by-one.

a.

we know 3.79 liters is 1 gallon, so 4 liters IS NOT LESS THAN 1 gallon

THis is false.

b.

We know 1 feet is 0.30 meters, so definitely 1 foot is less than 1 meter.

This is true.

c.

we know around 28.35 grams is 1 ounce, so definitely 25 grams is less than 1 ounce.

THis is true.

d.

We know 1 km is approximately 0.62 miles so 10 km would be around 0.62*10 = 6.2 miles

So definitely 9 miles IS GREATER than 10 km.

THis is true.

So answer choice A is false, only.
