Question

circle the larger unit of measure. then, write down what the unit measures: distance, volume, or weight (or mass).
a. meter or kilometer
b. yard or foot
c. cup or quart
d. pound or ounce
e. liter or milliliter
f. gram or kilogram

Explanation:

Step1: Compare units for distance

• For part a:
• We know that \(1\) kilometer \( = 1000\) meters. So kilometer is larger than meter. Both measure distance.
• For part b:
• Since \(1\) yard \(= 3\) feet, yard is larger than foot. Both measure distance.

Step2: Compare units for volume

• For part c:
• As \(1\) quart \( = 4\) cups, quart is larger than cup. Both measure volume.

Step3: Compare units for weight (mass)

• For part d:
• Given \(1\) pound \(= 16\) ounces, pound is larger than ounce. Both measure weight (mass).

Step4: Compare metric units for volume

• For part e:
• Since \(1\) liter \(= 1000\) milliliters, liter is larger than milliliter. Both measure volume.

Step5: Compare metric units for weight (mass)

• For part f:
• As \(1\) kilogram \(= 1000\) grams, kilogram is larger than gram. Both measure weight (mass).

Answer:

a. Circle kilometer, measures distance.
b. Circle yard, measures distance.
c. Circle quart, measures volume.
d. Circle pound, measures weight (mass).
e. Circle liter, measures volume.
f. Circle kilogram, measures weight (mass).
