Question

identify the numbers in each of the following statements as measured or exact. drag the appropriate statements to their respective bins. the distance from denver, colorado, to houston, texas, is 1720 km. a patient has a mass of 67.5 kg. a surgeon performed 6 surgeries this month. in the metric system, 1 l is equal to 1000 ml. measured exact

Explanation:

• Measured: These values are obtained through measurement tools or processes and are subject to some degree of uncertainty.
• The distance from Denver, Colorado to Houston, Texas is measured using mapping or surveying techniques. There can be slight variations depending on the route and measurement method.
• A patient's mass of 67.5 kg is measured using a scale. Scales have a certain precision and there could be minor fluctuations (e.g., due to the patient's hydration level at the time of measurement).
• Exact: These are defined or counted values with no inherent measurement uncertainty.
• The number 6 (surgeries performed by a surgeon this month) is a counted quantity. It's a discrete whole - number value that is known exactly (e.g., you can't perform a fraction of a distinct surgery in a simple count).
• The conversion “In the metric system, 1 L is equal to 1000 mL” is a defined relationship. It's a standard exact conversion within the metric system and not subject to measurement error.

Answer:

• Measured:
• The distance from Denver, Colorado to Houston, Texas is 1720 km.
• A patient has a mass of 67.5 kg.
• Exact:
• A surgeon performed 6 surgeries this month.
• In the metric system, 1 L is equal to 1000 mL.
