Question

George wants to measure the distance he walks in 1

minute. Which units are most appropriate to measure George’s walking distance?
millimeters

meters


kilometers


centimeters

Answer 1

Centimeters are the appropriate unit of measurement to measure George's walking distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get the object out to measure or picture it in your mind.

Next, think about the reasonable measurement choices. Kilometers are much too large to measure such a small object, as well as meters. That leaves centimeters and millimeters as the two possibilities.

Then, David will match the appropriate choice with the object he is measuring. He knows millimeters measure very small objects like seeds or staples. His textbook is much larger than those types of objects, so centimeters are the right choice for measuring his book.

David will use centimeters to measure his textbook to complete his project.
