Which unit of measurement is the most reasonable to measure the length of Dalton's hamster?

Explanation

The most reasonable unit of measurement to measure the length of Dalton's hamster is inches (in) because hamsters are small animals and their length is typically measured in smaller units. Feet, yards, and miles are larger units of measurement that would not be suitable for measuring the length of a hamster accurately.

9.          

Kendra wanted to take a bubble bath.  What is a reasonable estimate for the capacity of her bathtub?

Explanation

A reasonable estimate for the capacity of Kendra's bathtub is 20 gallons. This is because a bubble bath typically requires a larger amount of water compared to regular bathing. Cups and quarts are too small to hold enough water for a bubble bath, and 2 gallons may not be enough to fill the entire bathtub. Therefore, 20 gallons is a reasonable estimate for the capacity of her bathtub.

11. Kevin is baking a cake for his math class.  The recipe calls for 40 milliliters of water for every 20 milliliters of cooking oil.  How many mililiters of water are needed if 50 milliliters of cooking oil were used?

Explanation

The recipe states that for every 20 milliliters of cooking oil, 40 milliliters of water are needed. If 50 milliliters of cooking oil were used, we can calculate the amount of water needed by setting up a proportion. Since 20 milliliters of cooking oil corresponds to 40 milliliters of water, we can set up the proportion 20/40 = 50/x, where x represents the amount of water needed. Solving for x, we find that x = 100. Therefore, 100 milliliters of water are needed if 50 milliliters of cooking oil were used.

Submit

Estimate the length of a new, unsharpened pencil

Explanation

The correct answer is 18 cm because it is a reasonable estimate for the length of a new, unsharpened pencil. Pencils are typically around 15-20 cm long, and since this is an unsharpened pencil, it would be closer to the longer end of that range. The other options (18 mm, 8 cm, and 8 m) are either too small or too large to be a realistic estimate for a pencil length.

Submit
19. Choose the set of measurements listed in the order from least to greatest.

Explanation

The set of measurements listed in the order from least to greatest is 5 mg, 5 g, 5 kg. This is because milligrams (mg) is the smallest unit of measurement, followed by grams (g), and then kilograms (kg), which is the largest unit of measurement.

22. How many fluid ounces are in 4 quarts?

Customary Capacity:

1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart= 2 pints
1 pint= 2 cups
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces

Explanation

Since 1 quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces (according to the given conversion factors), we can calculate the number of fluid ounces in 4 quarts by multiplying 32 by 4. Therefore, there are 128 fluid ounces in 4 quarts.

Submit
23. Which conversion requires division?

Explanation

The conversion from milligram to centigram requires division because centigrams are larger units than milligrams. To convert milligrams to centigrams, you need to divide the value in milligrams by 10, as there are 10 centigrams in 1 milligram.

Submit
24. Choose the correct conversion of 42 grams to milligrams.

Explanation

The correct conversion of 42 grams to milligrams is 42,000. This is because there are 1,000 milligrams in 1 gram, so to convert grams to milligrams, you multiply the number of grams by 1,000. In this case, 42 grams multiplied by 1,000 equals 42,000 milligrams.
