if someone told you it was 12 kilometers to their house, what unit of measure would be closest to a kilometer?
pound
gallon
mile
inch

which units measure the same basic quantities?
gallons and meters
kilometers and pints
yards and cups
pounds and grams

which units would you use to measure the amount of water in your glass?
pints and meters
fluid ounces and liters
feet and meters
ounces and grams

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit - type knowledge

A kilometer is a unit of length. Among the options, a pound is a unit of mass, a gallon is a unit of volume, a mile is a unit of length, and an inch is a unit of length. A mile (1 mile is approximately 1.609 kilometers) is closer in magnitude to a kilometer compared to an inch.

Step2: Analyze units for the second question

Pounds and grams are both units of mass. Gallons are for volume and meters are for length. Kilometers are for length and pints are for volume. Yards are for length and cups are for volume.

Step3: Analyze units for the third question

To measure the amount of water (volume) in a glass, fluid ounces and liters are appropriate volume - measuring units. Pints are for volume but meters are for length. Feet and meters are for length. Ounces can refer to mass (avoirdupois ounce) or volume (fluid ounce), but grams are for mass.

Answer:

1. C. Mile
2. D. Pounds and Grams
3. B. Fluid ounces and Liters
