Select two true statememts.
a.) One centimeters is 100 meters
b.) One liter is 1,000 milliliters
c.) One minute is 60 seconds
d.) One milliliter is 1,000 liters
e.) One gram is 1,000 kilograms
B and C
Kilograms, Meters, Liters, and Minute are the bigger measurements so their values should be smaller than the smaller measurements.
Complete the table showing the number of meters for the measurements given in kilometers. 1,000 meters = 1 kilometer
2 km - 2,000 m

The perimeter of a rectangle is 80 cm. Select three true statements.
a.) If one side measures 20 cm, then it is a square.
b.) The rectangle cannot have a side that measures 43 cm.
c.) The rectangle cannot have a side that measures 10 cm.
d.) If one side measures 9 cm, then another side measures 31 cm.
e.) If one side measures 2 cm, then another side measures 40 cm.
A, B, D
C is wrong because the rectangle could have a side measuring 10 cm because 10+10+30+30=80 cm
E is wrong because the rectangle could not have a side measuring 2 cm and another side measuring 40 cm because 2+2+40+40=84 cm
Han's dog eats 5 1/2 kilograms of food a week. Priya's dog eats 4,600 grams of food each week. 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams.
