Question

Match each metric measurement on the left with an equivalent unit of measurement on the right.

1. Kilogram
2. Kilometer
3. Liter
4. Meter
5. Millimeter

A) Weight
B) Length
C) Volume
D) Length and Length
E) Length

Answer 1

Metric measurements include the kilogram for weight; kilometers and millimeters for length; liter for volume; and meter also represents length in the metric system. Specific examples include using kilometers for distances between towns and centimeters for the length of a hand.

Step-by-step explanation:

To match each metric measurement with an equivalent unit of measurement, we associate the following:

• 1. Kilogram is matched with 'A) Weight' as it is a unit of mass in the metric system.
• 2. Kilometer and 5. Millimeter are matched with 'B) Length' and 'E) Length' respectively as they are both units of length, however, kilometer is used for much longer distances while millimeter is for very small lengths.
• 3. Liter is matched with 'C) Volume' as it is a unit used to measure the volume of a liquid or capacity in the metric system.
• 4. Meter is also matched with 'D) Length and Length', but it is a base unit of length in the metric system.

Regarding the appropriate unit for specific measurements:

• The distance between two towns would be measured in kilometers.
• The weight of a peanut would be measured in grams or kilograms, depending on the quantity.
• The length of a hand would typically be measured in centimeters.
• The volume of a raindrop would be measured in milliliters, a subunit of liters.
