Question

fill in the blanks below with the correct units.
(a) josh bought a candy bar. its mass was about 60?
(b) the length of the car was about 5?
(c) today, scott drank about 2? of water.

Explanation:

(a)

Mass of a candy bar:
Candy bars are relatively light. Grams ($g$) is a suitable unit for measuring the mass of small objects. Kilograms ($kg$) would be too large for a candy bar. So, the unit is grams.

(b)

Length of a car:
Cars are several meters long. Centimeters ($cm$) would make the car length too short (e.g., \(5cm = 0.05m\)), and kilometers ($km$) would be way too long. Meters ($m$) is the appropriate unit.

(c)

Volume of water drunk:
When measuring the volume of liquid consumed, liters ($L$) is a common unit. Milliliters ($mL$) would make the amount \(2mL\) (which is a very small amount, about a few drops). So, liters is the right unit.

Answer:

(a) grams
(b) meters
(c) liters
