Which quantity in each pair is larger? Select the single best answer in each part. Note: Reference the SI prefixes table for additional information. 16ks or 16cs
To determine which quantity is larger between 16ks and 16cs, we need to reference the SI prefixes table.
The SI prefixes table tells us that "ks" stands for kiloseconds, which is equal to 1,000 seconds. On the other hand, "cs" stands for centiseconds, which is equal to 1/100th of a second.
Therefore, 16ks is equal to 16,000 seconds (16 × 1,000), while 16cs is equal to 1.6 seconds (16 × 0.01).
Comparing these quantities, 16ks (16,000 seconds) is larger than 16cs (1.6 seconds).
So, 16ks is the larger quantity.
