Answer 1

Answer:- D is the right answer. 'Feet' is most appropriate unit to measure this distance.

Explanation:-

Given distance =.

`=8.5*10^(-2)\text{ miles}=(8.5)/(100)\text{ miles}=0.085\text{ miles}`

We know that the units of length near to the mile is kilometers and feetsuch that 1 mile = 1.6093 km

1 mile = 5280 feet

Thus 'feet' is most appropriate unit to measure this distance.

Then the given distance
`=0.085\text{miles}=0.085*5280\text{ feet}=448.8\text{ feet}`
