Question

The distance between the baseball stadium and the airport is 1.6×10^6 centimeters.Which unit of measurement is most appropriate to measure this distance?

Answer 1

'Kilometers' is the most appropriate unit to measure this distance.

Explanation:

The distance between the baseball stadium and the airport is
`1.6* 10^6` centimeters.

`(1.6* 10^6)cm = (16* 10^5)cm`

Now, 10⁵ centimeters is equal to 1 kilometer.

That means,
`(16* 10^5)cm = (16* 1)km= 16 km`

So, 'Kilometers' is the most appropriate unit to measure this distance.
