1. circle the larger unit of measure. then, determine if 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: Convert units to same base

• For a: \(1\) kilometer \( = 1000\) meters. So kilometer is larger. Meter and kilometer measure distance.
• For b: \(1\) yard \(= 3\) feet. So yard is larger. Yard and foot measure distance.
• For c: \(1\) quart \( = 4\) cups. So quart is larger. Cup and quart measure volume.
• For d: \(1\) pound \(= 16\) ounces. So pound is larger. Pound and ounce measure weight (or mass).
• For e: \(1\) liter \(= 1000\) milliliters. So liter is larger. Liter and milliliter measure volume.
• For f: \(1\) kilogram \(= 1000\) grams. So kilogram is larger. Gram and kilogram measure weight (or mass).

Answer:

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