Question

guided practice do you understand? 1. what metric unit would you use to measure your mass? the amount of blood in your body? explain.

Explanation:

To measure mass, the gram (or kilogram for larger values) is used in the metric system. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter, and grams are suitable for typical human mass (e.g., a person's mass might be around 50 - 100 kilograms, or 50,000 - 100,000 grams). For the amount of blood in the body, liters (or milliliters) are used. Blood volume in the body is a measure of liquid volume, and liters are appropriate (e.g., an adult has about 4 - 6 liters of blood, which can also be expressed as 4000 - 6000 milliliters). The choice of unit depends on the magnitude of the quantity being measured and the nature of the measurement (mass vs. volume).

Answer:

• To measure mass: Gram (or kilogram). Explanation: Mass is the amount of matter, and grams/kilograms are metric units for mass. A person's mass is typically in kilograms (e.g., 60 kg) or grams (60,000 g).
• To measure blood amount: Liter (or milliliter). Explanation: Blood is a liquid, and liters/milliliters are metric units for volume. An adult has ~4 - 6 liters (4000 - 6000 mL) of blood.
