Question

Which two of these are equivalent lengths?

a) 6000 centimeters
b) 0.600 meters
c) 60 millimeters
d) 0.060 kilometers

Answer 1

The two equivalent lengths are 0.600 meters and 60 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equivalent lengths are b) 0.600 meters and c) 60 millimeters. To determine equivalent lengths, we need to convert all the lengths to a common unit of measurement. Let's convert them to meters:

1. a) 6000 centimeters = 6000 * 0.01 = 60 meters
2. b) 0.600 meters
3. c) 60 millimeters = 60 * 0.001 = 0.06 meters
4. d) 0.060 kilometers = 0.060 * 1000 = 60 meters

We can see that b) 0.600 meters and c) 60 millimeters both represent a length of 60 meters, making them equivalent.
