Question

select the true statement about standards for weights and measures.

companies owned by private individuals do not have to follow the standards.

standards often wind up discouraging the exchange of goods in the economy.

sales of products or services impacted by weights and measures laws in the us represent a small proportion of output.

a pound of flour from the fluffy flour company will be the same weight as a pound of flour from another company.

Explanation:

Weights and measures standards are uniform, so a defined unit (like a pound) has the same value across all entities. Private companies must follow these standards; standards facilitate, not discourage, trade; and weight/measure-regulated goods make up a large US economic share.

Answer:

A pound of flour from the Fluffy Flour Company will be the same weight as a pound of flour from another company.
