Question

1. Mr.Customs is correcting the class’s math homework on customary units. Which of the following measurements is reasonable?

A.)a pencil is 12 feet long

B.)the back porch is 12 inches wide

C.)the 3rd hole in the golf course is is 123 miles long

D.)the distance from New York to California is 2,250 miles


2.what is the best unit of measurement for the length of the distance from one end of your textbook to be other end of your textbook

A.)inch

B.)foot

C.) yard

D.) mile

Answer 1

The reasonable measurement in question 1 is D - the distance from New York to California is 2,250 miles. The best unit of measurement for the length of the distance of your textbook is A - inch.

Explanation:

The United States uses the Imperial System of measurement which uses things such as inches, feet, yards and miles. In order to understand reasonable measurements, you need to first realize the order in which size would be determined. For instance, 12 inches is equal to one foot, which can be found on your typical ruler. Additionally, three feet is equal to one yard, which we can find on a yard stick. Lastly, there are 1,760 yards in one mile, which is typically measured with some time of pedometer/odometer. So, when you think about calculating measurement for common things such as a pencil or distance between cities, think about whether this distance could be measured using a ruler or perhaps the odometer on a car.

Answer 2

1.) The distance from New York to California is 2,250 miles.

2.) inch

Explanation:

1.)

For the first question, we will go through the answers one at a time...

1 Foot = 12 inches

A Pencil is not 12 feet long.

A back porch wouldn't be a foot wide.

A hole on the golf course wouldn't be miles long...

This is why D would be the correct answer.

2.)

To find how thick your textbook would be... the thickness of a textbook is likely 1 or 2 inches at the most. As far as the options go, there is no option that is smaller than an inch...

Therefore, A would be the correct answer.
