I will solve this worksheet by determining the best metric unit for each object based on whether we are measuring volume (liters or milliliters) or weight/mass (grams or kilograms).
Let me go through each item one by one.
First, look closely:
The worksheet asks to circle the best measurement unit for 12 different objects. The units to choose from are liters, milliliters, grams, and kilograms. I need to determine for each object whether it's asking for volume or mass/weight, and then select the most appropriate unit from the given options.
For example:
- Item 1: "The volume of a bottle of nail polish" - This is clearly asking for volume, so I need to choose between liters and milliliters. A bottle of nail polish is very small, so milliliters would be the appropriate unit.
- Item 2: "The weight of a walnut" - This is asking for weight (mass), so I need to choose between grams and kilograms. A walnut is very light, so grams would be the appropriate unit.
I'll now systematically go through all 12 items to determine the correct unit for each.
Next, find information:
I don't need to use any external tools for this as this is a standard metric unit selection problem based on common knowledge of object sizes and weights.
Then, review the findings:
I can now provide the complete solution for all 12 items.
Here is the solution:
1.
The volume of a bottle of nail polish: Milliliters (ml) - Nail polish bottles are small, typically holding 10-20 ml.
2.
The weight of a walnut: Grams (g) - A single walnut weighs only a few grams.
3.
The volume of a bottle of soda: Liters (L) - Standard soda bottles are 1-2 liters.
4.
The weight of a duck: Kilograms (kg) - A duck weighs several kilograms.
5.
The volume of water in a fish bowl: Liters (L) - Fish bowls typically hold several liters of water.
6.
The volume of a dose of cough medicine: Milliliters (ml) - Medicine doses are measured in small amounts, usually 5-30 ml.
7.
The weight of a paper clip: Grams (g) - A paper clip weighs less than a gram, but grams is the closest appropriate unit among the choices.
8.
The volume of a tank of gasoline: Liters (L) - Car gas tanks hold tens of liters.
9.
The weight of an elephant: Kilograms (kg) - Elephants weigh thousands of kilograms.
10.
The weight of a feather: Grams (g) - A feather is very light, weighing fractions of a gram, but grams is the most appropriate choice.
11.
The volume of a teaspoon of vanilla: Milliliters (ml) - A teaspoon is approximately 5 ml.
12.
The weight of an automobile: Kilograms (kg) - Cars weigh over 1,000 kg.
This completes the solution to the worksheet.
