    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the given statement, it is mentioned that a second in the SI system is the same as a second in the English system. This statement is true because both the SI system and the English system use the same unit of time measurement, which is the second. Therefore, regardless of the system being used, a second is universally defined as the same duration of time.

    • 0.83 meters

    • 1.38 meters

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.83 meters
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1.83 meters. In the SI system, 1 meter is equal to approximately 3.28 feet. Therefore, to convert feet to meters, you divide the number of feet by 3.28. In this case, since your friend is 6 feet tall, you divide 6 by 3.28, which gives you approximately 1.83 meters.

    Correct Answer
    A. 22 pounds

    The mass of the object is 10 kilograms. To convert kilograms to pounds, we can use the conversion factor of 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds. Therefore, the mass of the object in English units is 22 pounds.
