Question

1. alicia and jeremy weigh a cell phone on a digital scale. they write down 113 but forget to record the unit. which unit of measurement is correct, grams or kilograms? how do you know? 1 gram 1 kilogram

Explanation:

Step1: Understand mass units

Kilograms are used for heavier objects like a large - sized person or a big bag of groceries. Grams are used for lighter objects.

Step2: Consider phone weight

A cell phone is a relatively light object. 1 kilogram is too large a unit for a cell phone's weight. A cell phone typically weighs a few hundred grams at most.

Answer:

The correct unit is grams. We know this because cell phones are light objects and kilograms are used for much heavier items. 113 grams is a reasonable weight for a cell phone, while 113 kilograms would be extremely heavy for a cell phone.
