Question

the weight of a pencil is about how much? choose the correct answer below. 50 kg 50 g 50 mg

Explanation:

To determine the weight of a pencil, we analyze the units:

• \(50\space kg\) is extremely heavy (e.g., weight of a large bag of rice), so a pencil can't be \(50\space kg\).
• \(50\space mg\) is very light (e.g., a small speck), too light for a pencil.
• \(50\space g\) is a reasonable weight for a pencil, as it's light but not extremely so.

Answer:

B. 50 g (assuming the options are labeled as A. 50 kg, B. 50 g, C. 50 mg)
