Question

11.which of the following best describes how a filter can be used to sort materials? (1 point)filters allow objects of a certain size to pass through, so if you know the size or size range of a certain component in a mixture, you can pass the entire mixture through a filter and sort out the component in that size range.filters catch large objects, so filters can be used to sort out large components of mixtures.filters never help you sort mixtures because different components can all be the same or similar sizes.filters allow objects that are less than a specific size to pass through, which lets you sort a mixture. this assumes that the sizes of each component are different and page 1 of 1ap.

Explanation:

A filter works based on the size of particles. It allows particles of a certain size (or size range) to pass through. If we know the size or size range of a component in a mixture, we can use a filter to sort it. The second option only focuses on large objects and ignores the concept of a size range. The third option is incorrect as filters do help in sorting. The fourth option's assumption about all components having different sizes is not necessary as we can target a specific size or size range even if there are other components.

Answer:

Filters allow objects of a certain size to pass through, so if you know the size or size range of a certain component in a mixture, you can pass the entire mixture through a filter and sort out the component in that size range.
