Question

(4 pts) which of the following is equivalent to the prefix kilo-?
@ 1/1,000
b. 100
c. 1,000,000
d. none of the above

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the value of kilo - prefix

The prefix "kilo -" in the metric system represents a factor of \(10^{3}\) or \(1000\).

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option a: \(\frac{1}{1000}=10^{- 3}\), which is the value for the prefix "milli -", not "kilo -".
• Option b: \(100 = 10^{2}\), which is the value for the prefix "hecto -", not "kilo -".
• Option c: \(1000000=10^{6}\), which is the value for the prefix "mega -", not "kilo -".

Answer:

d. None of the above
