Question

below are several lines with units of distance marked on them.the scale for each line is labeled below the line.for each line, you are asked to click in a box at a given length on the line. when you click in a box, the value you are asked for will appearif you decide that the box you clicked on is not the correct length, click in the box again and the value will disappear. then, click in the box that you think is correct.click in the box with the blue arrow pointing to 1 kilometer on this line:0 $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{2}}$ ml 1 ml 1 $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{2}}$ ml 2 ml 2 $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{2}}$ mlclick in the box with the blue arrow pointing to 1 mile on this line:0 $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{2}}$ km 1 km 1 $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{2}}$ km 2 km 2 $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{2}}$ kmclick in the box with the blue arrow pointing to 500 meters on this line:0 $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{2}}$ km 1 km 1 $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{2}}$ km 2 km 2 $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{2}}$ kmcheck answersif you dont know to do the problem, just do your best.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert 1 km to ml (1 km ≈ 0.621 ml)

$1 \text{ km} \approx 0.621 \text{ ml}$
Locate the box closest to $\frac{1}{2} \text{ ml}$ (0.5 ml) and $1 \text{ ml}$; the box above $\frac{1}{2} \text{ ml}$ is not correct, the box between $\frac{1}{2} \text{ ml}$ and $1 \text{ ml}$ is not marked, wait no—wait, the first line is ml, we need 1 km ≈ 0.621 ml, which is between $\frac{1}{2} \text{ ml}$ (0.5) and $1 \text{ ml}$. But the boxes are at 0, $\frac{1}{2}$ ml, 1 ml, $1\frac{1}{2}$ ml, 2 ml, $2\frac{1}{2}$ ml. The closest is the box above $\frac{1}{2} \text{ ml}$? No, wait 1 km ≈ 0.621 ml, which is closer to 0.5 ml? No, 0.621 is 0.121 above 0.5, 0.379 below 1. So the box above $\frac{1}{2} \text{ ml}$ (the second box from left).

Step2: Convert 1 mile to km (1 mile ≈ 1.609 km)

$1 \text{ mile} \approx 1.609 \text{ km}$
Locate between $1 \text{ km}$ and $1\frac{1}{2} \text{ km}$? No, $1\frac{1}{2}$ is 1.5, 1.609 is above 1.5, so between $1\frac{1}{2} \text{ km}$ and $2 \text{ km}$? Wait no, $1\frac{1}{2}$ is 1.5, 1.609 is 0.109 above 1.5, so the box above $1\frac{1}{2} \text{ km}$ (fourth box from left).

Step3: Convert 500 meters to km (500 m = 0.5 km)

$500 \text{ m} = 0.5 \text{ km} = \frac{1}{2} \text{ km}$
Locate the box above $\frac{1}{2} \text{ km}$ (second box from left).

Answer:

1. For 1 kilometer: Click the box above the $\frac{1}{2} \text{ ml}$ mark (second box from the left on the first line)
2. For 1 mile: Click the box above the $1\frac{1}{2} \text{ km}$ mark (fourth box from the left on the second line)
3. For 500 meters: Click the box above the $\frac{1}{2} \text{ km}$ mark (second box from the left on the third line)
