Mr. customs is correcting the class's math homework on customary units. which of the following measurements is reasonable?

A pencil is 12 feet long.

The back porch is 12 inches wide.

The 3rd hole on the golf court
is 123 miles long.

The distance from new York to California is 2,250 miles long. (MY ANSWER)

looks good!

Thank you.

you're very welcome

To determine which measurement is reasonable, we need to understand the customary units of measurement and their typical usage. Customary units are commonly used in the United States for measuring length.

Let's consider each option one by one:

A pencil is 12 feet long.
Typically, a pencil is measured in inches, not in feet. Therefore, this measurement is not reasonable.

The back porch is 12 inches wide.
This measurement seems reasonable since inches are commonly used to measure shorter lengths like the width of objects.

The 3rd hole on the golf court is 123 miles long.
Golf holes are relatively short, and measuring them in miles doesn't make sense. It's more reasonable to measure the length of a golf hole in yards. Therefore, this measurement is not reasonable.

The distance from New York to California is 2,250 miles long.
This measurement is reasonable as miles are often used for long-distance measurements like distances between cities.

Based on the explanations, your answer, "The distance from New York to California is 2,250 miles long," is correct.
