Answer 2

Your answer can vary, but you can include how you've seen kilometers been used on maps, you can say how you have used rulers with centimeter marks on them, you can say you bought liter-sized bottles, and you can also say that you've heard people refer to their weight as kilograms. Hope this helped!
