Use words, numbers, and/or pictures to explain your answer. (2 point question)

To be sure you receive both points for this problem, make sure that you have answered the question and then make sure that you explain your selection as to why you chose the solution you did.

For the first point, you need to answer the question. The answer to this question is A, kilometers.

For the second point, you need to explain and support the choice you made. The reason your answer to this question is kilometers because kilometers are the larger unit of measure that is given to you that we use to measure longer distances. If you used the other three options they would be too small and your measurement would be very very large! Using meters, decimeters, and centimeters are used to measure shorter distances.
