Question

Which of the following measurements represents the most matter?

Answer 1

Answer: C) 330 g

Explanation: Since all the masses are given in different units, it's good to make all of them to have same unit. Let's say we convert all of them to grams.

A) kg stands for kilogram and 1 kg = 1000 g

So, $0.033kg(\frac{1000g}{1kg})$

= 33 g

B) hg stands for hactogram and 1 hg = 100 g

So, $0.33hg(\frac{100g}{1hg})$

= 33 g

C) 330 g

D) cg stands for centigram and 1 cg = 0.01 g

So, $3300cg(\frac{0.01g}{1cg})$

= 33 g

Looking at all the choices, choice A, B and D represent equal amount of matter that is 33 g where as choice C represents 330 g of matter.

Hence, the correct choice is C) 330 g.
