Question

For each of the following commonly used measurements, indicate its symbol. Use the symbols to complete the following sentences with the most appropriate unit. Units may be used more than once or not at all. _____ milliliter _____ kilogram _____ meter _____ milligram _____ millimeter _____ liter On a statistical basis, smoking a single cigarette lowers your life expectancy by 642,000 _____, or 10.7 minutes

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the given units and their symbols:

1. Milliliter (symbolized as ml)
2. Kilogram (kg)
3. Meter (m)
4. Milligram (mg)
5. Millimeter (mm)
6. Liter (l)

Now, we have to fill in the blanks with the correct units. However, in the last phrase, the information is about time ("smoking a single cigarette lowers your life expectancy by 642,000 _____, or 10.7 minutes"). But from the given options, there aren't any units relating to time.

Therefore, as per the given information, we wouldn't be able to correctly complete the phrase. However, considering its context, it seems that the missing unit relates to a measure of time. Therefore, it would likely be a unit such as milliseconds, as 10.7 minutes is equivalent to 642,000 milliseconds.

In conclusion, the completed sentence, with an inferred unit of time, would likely be: "On a statistical basis, smoking a single cigarette lowers your life expectancy by 642,000 milliseconds, or 10.7 minutes." However, please note that we cannot determine this with absolute certainty given the choice of units provided.
