Question

1. which measurement is the largest? 0.8 ounces 600 pounds 3200 ounces 0.5 tons

Explanation:

Step1: Convert miles to feet (1mi=5280ft)

$49 \times 5280 = 258720$ feet; $65 \times 5280 = 343200$ feet; $37 \times 5280 = 195360$ feet

Step2: Compare mile-foot pairs

$258720 < 300720$; $343200 > 343100$; $195360 < 250060$; $5280 = 5280$

Step3: Convert all mass to pounds

1 pound = 16 ounces, 1 ton = 2000 pounds
$0.8 \text{ oz} = \frac{0.8}{16} = 0.05 \text{ lb}$; $3200 \text{ oz} = \frac{3200}{16} = 200 \text{ lb}$; $0.5 \text{ ton} = 0.5 \times 2000 = 1000 \text{ lb}$

Step4: Compare mass values

$0.05 < 200 < 600 < 1000$

Answer:

1. $49$ miles $<$ $300,720$ feet
2. $65$ miles $>$ $343,100$ feet
3. $250,060$ feet $>$ $37$ miles
4. $5,280$ feet $=$ $1$ mile
5. D. 0.5 tons
