Respuesta :

Using unit measurement concepts, it is found that the correct options are:

  • The distance for a flight from Georgia to Texas to the nearest mile.
  • Measuring how long the large mouth bass you caught while fishing to the nearest foot.  
  • The number of party favors needed for a birthday party by the whole number.
  • The cost of new laptop plus tax calculated to the nearest tenth.  

----------------------------------

  • When measurements are made, the unit used is a big consideration, to give accuracy to the measurement. For example, measuring a person's height is kilometres would not give an accurate representation.

----------------------------------

  • In the first option, for distance between cities or states, miles is the most widely used metric, so this option is correct.
  • In the second option, heights of mouth bass are usually measured in inches, which is easily converted to feet(dividing by 12), and thus, this option is correct.
  • In the third option, for each person, there is usually a favor, thus, whole number is an accurate metric, and this option is correct.
  • In the fourth option, volume of water is usually measured in liters, and fluid ounces are way smaller than liters, thus not giving an accurate representation.
  • In the fifth option, costs of products, especially expensive products such as laptops, are rounded to the nearest tenth, and thus, this option is correct.
