Question

metric and measurement hw check which of the following is the correct order from smallest to largest? ○ millimeter → centimeter → meter → kilometer ○ centimeter → millimeter → kilometer → meter ○ kilometer → meter → centimeter → millimeter ○ millimeter → kilometer → centimeter → meter

Explanation:

To determine the correct order from smallest to largest, we use the metric system prefixes and their relationships: 1 centimeter ($\text{cm}$) = 10 millimeters ($\text{mm}$), so millimeter is smaller than centimeter. 1 meter ($\text{m}$) = 100 centimeters, so centimeter is smaller than meter. 1 kilometer ($\text{km}$) = 1000 meters, so meter is smaller than kilometer. Thus, the order from smallest to largest is Millimeter → Centimeter → Meter → Kilometer.

Answer:

A. Millimeter → Centimeter → Meter → Kilometer
