@Writeateacher can u pls notice this im not asking for answers
thank you :>
1. To determine which measurement is reasonable, we need to have an understanding of the customary units of measurement. In the case of length, the basic units are inches, feet, yards, and miles. A pencil being 12 feet long (option A) is not reasonable as it is much larger than a typical pencil. The back porch being 12 inches wide (option B) is reasonable, as it falls within the range of typical porch widths. The 3rd hole on the golf course being 123 miles long (option C) is not reasonable, as it is an extremely large distance for a golf hole. Finally, the distance from NY to CA being 2,250 miles (option D) is reasonable, as it falls within the range of typical distances between the two states. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
2. The best unit of measurement for the length of the distance from one end of your textbook to the other end would depend on the size of the textbook. In general, textbooks are not very large, so using larger units like yards or miles would not be appropriate. Considering the typical size of a textbook, the best unit of measurement would be inches (option A). Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
3. The best unit of measurement for the capacity of a travel-size bottle of shampoo would also depend on the size of the bottle. Common units of capacity include fluid ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons. Travel-size bottles of shampoo are typically small and would not contain large volumes, so using larger units like quarts or gallons would not be appropriate. Fluid ounces (option A) are commonly used for small measurements, making it the best unit of measurement for a travel-size bottle of shampoo. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
4. The best unit of measurement for the weight of two sixth-grade students would typically be pounds (option B). Ounces (option A) are more commonly used for smaller weights, and tons (option C) are much larger units that would not be appropriate for measuring the weight of students. Cups (option D) are used for measuring volume, not weight. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
As an AI, I can help with checking answers, but it is always recommended to have a teacher or the provided answer key verify the correctness of the answers.
