Question

what is the mass of a can of soup? select the best estimate. 12 tons 12 pounds 12 ounces

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the units

Tons are used for very heavy objects (like trucks, large cargo), pounds are heavier (e.g., a large bag of flour might be a few pounds), and ounces are smaller units for lighter items. A can of soup is relatively light.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• 12 tons is extremely heavy, way too much for a can of soup.
• 12 pounds is also too heavy (a can of soup isn't that heavy).
• 12 ounces is a reasonable estimate for the mass of a can of soup.

Answer:

12 ounces
