Answer 2

Hello!

A gram is about the size of a paperclip, or 0.002 pounds. A horse weighs about 1,000 pounds. That would be a lot of grams. A horse would probably not be measured in grams.

Milligrams and centigrams are even SMALLER than grams. A horse would definitely not be measured in these measurement.s

A kilogram is 1,000 grams. This would be about 2.2 grams. You could say that a horse is about 455 kilograms.

Therefore, our answer is D) Kilograms.

I hope this helps!
