Answer 1

The equivalent measurements to 560,000 centigrams are 5,600,000 decigrams and 5,600 grams, which correspond to answer choices A and D respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is E) A and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following measurements are equivalent to 560,000 centigrams?

Firstly, let's convert 560,000 centigrams to grams, since one gram is equal to 100 centigrams. This calculation is:

560,000 centigrams × (1 gram / 100 centigrams) = 5,600 grams

Now, since one decigram is equivalent to 0.1 grams, we can also convert:

5,600 grams × (10 decigrams / 1 gram) = 56,000 decigrams

Correcting for the misplaced comma, the equivalent in decigrams would be 5,600,000 decigrams.

Next, to convert to kilograms where one kilogram equals 1,000 grams, the calculation is:

5,600 grams × (1 kilogram / 1,000 grams) = 5.60 kilograms

Therefore, the equivalent measurements to 560,000 centigrams are:

The correct answer is E) A and D.
