Step-by-step solution for: 2nd Grade Math Worksheets - Measurement - Choosing a Measurement ...
Let’s go through each item one by one. We’re choosing the measurement that makes the most sense for each object — meaning, which size is realistic in real life.
---
1. Bed
Options: 1 yard or 1 inch
→ A bed is big — way bigger than 1 inch. 1 yard = 3 feet, which is about right for a small bed or part of a bed. But actually, beds are usually longer than 1 yard (which is only 36 inches). Wait — let’s think again. Maybe they mean width? Still, 1 inch is tiny. So 1 yard is better than 1 inch. But hold on — maybe this is a trick? Let’s check others first and come back if needed. Actually, looking at #4, it has “3 yards” for a bed — that’s more accurate. So for #1, since it’s probably a smaller bed or just comparing, 1 yard is still better than 1 inch. ✔
Wait — let me double-check. The image shows a simple bed drawing. In reality, a twin bed is about 75 inches long — that’s over 2 yards. But between 1 yard and 1 inch? Definitely 1 yard.
✔ Answer: 1 yard
---
2. Soap dispenser bottle
Options: 10 inches or 10 centimeters
→ 10 inches is almost a foot tall — too big for a soap bottle. 10 cm is about 4 inches — that’s perfect for a hand soap bottle.
✔ Answer: 10 centimeters
---
3. Teddy bear
Options: 12 yards or 12 inches
→ 12 yards is HUGE — like a football field! No teddy bear is that big. 12 inches = 1 foot — that’s a normal-sized stuffed animal.
✔ Answer: 12 inches
---
4. Bed (again)
Options: 13 inches or 3 yards
→ 13 inches is barely over a foot — too short for a bed. 3 yards = 9 feet — that’s a good length for a full-size bed.
✔ Answer: 3 yards
---
5. Hat
Options: 1 foot or 1 yard
→ 1 yard = 3 feet — that’s huge for a hat! A hat is usually around 1 foot across (like from ear to ear).
✔ Answer: 1 foot
---
6. Baseball bat
Options: 1 foot or 1 meter
→ 1 foot is too short — bats are longer. 1 meter ≈ 3.3 feet — that’s a standard adult baseball bat length.
✔ Answer: 1 meter
---
7. Cereal box
Options: 10 inches or 10 feet
→ 10 feet is taller than a person! Cereal boxes are about 10–12 inches tall.
✔ Answer: 10 inches
---
8. Purse
Options: 22 centimeters or 22 feet
→ 22 feet is absurd — that’s bus-sized! 22 cm ≈ 8.7 inches — perfect for a small purse.
✔ Answer: 22 centimeters
---
9. Lipstick
Options: 27 inches or 7 centimeters
→ 27 inches is over 2 feet — no lipstick is that long! 7 cm ≈ 2.8 inches — that’s normal.
✔ Answer: 7 centimeters
---
10. Lamp
Options: 2 feet or 10 inches
→ Table lamps are usually around 1–2 feet tall. 10 inches is possible but a bit short. 2 feet is more typical for a desk lamp.
✔ Answer: 2 feet
---
11. Bag of chips
Options: 8 inches or 8 centimeters
→ 8 cm ≈ 3 inches — too small for a chip bag. 8 inches is about right for a snack-sized bag.
✔ Answer: 8 inches
---
12. Mug
Options: 6 inches or 20 inches
→ 20 inches is over 1.5 feet — way too big for a mug! Mugs are usually 3–5 inches tall. 6 inches is a bit tall but acceptable. Maybe they mean diameter? Still, 6 inches is more reasonable than 20.
✔ Answer: 6 inches
---
13. Candle
Options: 6 inches or 6 feet
→ 6 feet is ceiling height! Candles are small — 6 inches is common for pillar candles.
✔ Answer: 6 inches
---
14. Bookshelf
Options: 2 meters or 15 meters

✔ Answer: 2 meters
---
15. Book
Options: 1 foot or 3 feet
→ 3 feet is waist-high — too big for a book. Most books are less than 1 foot tall. 1 foot = 12 inches — that’s large but possible for a textbook. Better than 3 feet.
✔ Answer: 1 foot
---
16. Shoe
Options: 10 inches or 30 inches
→ 30 inches = 2.5 feet — that’s giant! Adult shoes are about 10–12 inches long.
