Answer 2

1. 1 mi; 2. 0.5 kg; 3. 3.5 qt; 4. 0.0045 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We must make the units of each measurement the same.

1. Kilometres vs. miles

`d =\text{1 km} * \frac{\text{1 mi}}{\text{1.609 km}} = \text{0.6 mi}`

The larger measurement is 1 mi.

2. Kilograms vs. pounds

`m = \text{0.5 kg} * \frac{\text{2.205 lb }}{\text{1 kg}} = \text{1.1 lb}`

The larger measurement is 0.5 kg.

3. Quarts vs. litres

`V = \text{2.5 qt} * \frac{\text{1 L }}{\text{1.057 qt}} = \text{2.3 L}`

The larger measurement is 2.5 qt.

4. Centimetres vs. inches

`d = \text{0.0045 cm} * \frac{\text{1 in }}{\text{2.54 cm}} = \text{0.0018 in}`

The larger measurement is 0.0045 in.
