which unit would be BEST to use to measure the time it takes a school bus to drive from its first stop to school?
a)hour
b)week
c)month
d)second
None of those. Most school bus trips to and from school would be measured in minutes.
The only exception might be in a large and very rural area. Then, it might be measured in hours.
thank you very much
What time would you use to measure the time it takes to travel from your house to New York
The best unit to measure the time it takes a school bus to drive from its first stop to school is the "second" (option d).
To understand why, let's consider the other options:
a) Hour: Hours are too large a unit to measure the time it takes for a school bus to travel from one stop to another. It would be an overestimation.
b) Week: Weeks are even larger units of time than hours, and they are not appropriate for measuring the duration of a single bus trip.
c) Month: Similarly to weeks, months are much longer units of time and are not suitable for measuring the duration of a single bus trip.
d) Second: Seconds are the smallest unit in this list and are ideal for measuring short durations accurately. They provide a precise measurement for the time it takes for the school bus to drive from its first stop to the school.
To measure the time, you can use a stopwatch or a timer. Start the timer when the school bus leaves its first stop and stop it once it arrives at the school. The resulting time will be in seconds, giving you an accurate measurement of the journey duration.
