Question 1
A megameter is a metric unit. The prefix "mega-" means \(10^6\), but wait, no—wait, the question is about divisions? Wait, maybe it's a typo, but if it's "millimeters in a megameter"? No, the options are 1,000; 10,000; 100,000; 1,000,000. Wait, a megameter (\(Mm\)) is \(10^6\) meters. A meter has 1000 millimeters? No, 1 meter = 1000 millimeters? Wait, no: 1 meter = 100 centimeters, 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters, so 1 meter = 1000 millimeters. Then 1 megameter (\(10^6\) meters) would have \(10^6 \times 1000 = 10^9\) millimeters? That doesn't match. Wait, maybe the question is "decimeters in a megameter"? No, the options are 1,000; 10,000; 100,000; 1,000,000. Wait, maybe it's "millimeters in a meter"? No, 1 meter = 1000 millimeters. Wait, maybe the question is "centimeters in a meter"? No. Wait, maybe the original question is "How many millimeters are in a meter? No, the options are 1,000 (which is correct for millimeters in a meter), but the options here: a) 1,000; b) 10,000; c) 100,000; d) 1,000,000. Wait, maybe the question is "How many millimeters in a kilometer"? 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, 1 meter = 1000 millimeters, so 1 kilometer = \(10^6\) millimeters? No. Wait, maybe the question is "How many decimeters in a meter? No, 1 meter = 10 decimeters. Wait, maybe the question is misprinted, but if we assume it's "How many millimeters in a meter", the answer is 1,000 (option a). But the marked answer is b? Wait, no, the user's image shows a marked option, but maybe I misread. Wait, the first question: "There are __ divisions in a megameter?" Maybe "millimeters"? No. Alternatively, maybe "centimeters in a meter"? No. Wait, maybe the question is about the metric scale. Wait, maybe the intended question is "How many millimeters are in a meter?" but the options are wrong. Alternatively, maybe "How many centimeters in a meter? No. Wait, maybe the question is "How many millimeters in a decameter?" A decameter is 10 meters, so 10 meters 1000 millimeters/meter = 10,000 millimeters. Ah! So if the question is "How many millimeters in a decameter?", then the answer is 10,000 (option b). That matches the marked option. So likely the question is "There are __ millimeters in a decameter?" (typo for decameter instead of megameter). So 1 decameter = 10 meters, 1 meter = 1000 millimeters, so 10 1000 = 10,000. So answer is b) 10,000.
Convert 0.84 m and 2 dm to mm. First, convert each to millimeters. 1 meter = 1000 millimeters, so 0.84 m = \(0.84 \times 1000 = 840\) mm. 1 decimeter = 100 millimeters (since 1 dm = 0.1 m, 0.1 m 1000 mm/m = 100 mm), so 2 dm = \(2 \times 100 = 200\) mm. Wait, no—wait, 1 dm = 10 cm, 1 cm = 10 mm, so 1 dm = 100 mm. So 2 dm = 200 mm. Then total is 840 + 200 = 1040? No, the options are 8484.2; 84,642,000; 0.000846412; 0.00. Wait, maybe the question is 0.84642 meters? Wait, maybe the original is 0.84 m and 6.42 dm? Wait, the marked option is b) 84,642,000. Wait, maybe the question is 0.84 km and 6.42 dm? No. Wait, 1 meter = 1000 millimeters, 1 decimeter = 100 millimeters. Wait, if it's 0.84 km: 1 km = 1000 m, so 0.84 km = 840 m = 840,000 mm. 6.42 dm = 642 mm. Then total is 840,000 + 642 = 840,642? No. Wait, maybe the question is 0.84 Mm (megameters) and 6.42 dm? 1 Mm = \(10^6\) meters, so 0.84 Mm = \(0.84 \times 10^6\) meters = \(0.84 \times 10^9\) millimeters (since 1 m = 1000 mm). 6.42 dm = 642 mm. Then total is \(0.84 \times 10^9 + 642 = 840,000,000 + 642 = 840,000,642\), which is not an option. Wait, the marked option is b) 84,642,000. Maybe the question is 0.084 km and 6.42 dm? 0.084 km = 84 m = 84,000 mm. 6.42 dm = 642 mm. Total: 84,000 + 642 = 84,642. No, the option is 84,642,000. Wait, maybe the units are nanometers? No. Alternatively, maybe the question is converting 0.84642 meters to millimeters? 0.84642 m 1000 = 846.42 mm, not matching. Wait, the marked option is b) 84,642,000. Maybe the question is 84.642 meters to millimeters? 84.642 m 1000 = 84,642 mm. No. Wait, 84.642 kilometers to millimeters: 84.642 km 1000 m/km 1000 mm/m = 84,642,000 mm. Ah! So if the question is "If you convert 84.642 km to mm, your answer would be", then 84.642 km = 84.642 1000 m = 84,642 m; 84,642 m * 1000 mm/m = 84,642,000 mm. So the answer is b) 84,642,000.
Metric base units: meter (length), gram (mass), liter (volume). Fahrenheit is a unit of temperature, not a metric base unit (metric temperature unit is Celsius or Kelvin). So the answer is b) Fahrenheit.
