Question

choose the correct answer below.
a. an adults body contains approximately 6.5 kiloliters because both 6.5 liters and 6.5 milliliters are small quantities.
b. an adults body contains approximately 6.5 milliliters because both 6.5 liters and 6.5 kiloliters are huge quantities.
c. an adults body contains approximately 6.5 liters because 6.5 kiloliters is a huge quantity to fit in a humans body and 6.5 milliliters is a very little quantity

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the units

• \(1\) kiloliter \( = 1000\) liters. A kiloliter is a very large volume. It is impossible for an adult's body to contain \(6.5\) kiloliters of liquid.
• \(1\) liter \(= 1000\) milliliters. \(6.5\) milliliters is an extremely small volume. It is not a reasonable amount for the liquid content in an adult's body.
• \(6.5\) liters is a more reasonable volume for the liquid content (such as blood, other body fluids) in an adult's body.

Answer:

C. An adult's body contains approximately 6.5 liters because 6.5 kiloliters is a huge quantity to fit in a human's body and 6.5 milliliters is a very little quantity.
