| Jan wants to measure the approximate distance
from where she lives to the grocery store on the other
side of town.
- What is the most appropriate customary unit
of measure she should use to measure the distance?
- inches
- feet
- yards
- miles
|
| The answer to this problem would
be D, miles. Using inches, feet, or yards may
make her approximate distance more precise, but it isn't
very feasible to measure the distance across town using
a ruler or a yardstick. Larger distances are usually
measured in miles. |
