Question

alica and jeremy weigh a cell phone on a digital scale. they wrote down 113 but forget to record the unit.Which unit of measurement is correct, grams or kilograms? how do you know?

Answer 1

I'm sure the measurement was made in grams because:

1. most cell phones weigh between about 100 and 150 grams
2. there's no cell phone that weighs 113 kg, 113 pounds, 113 ounces etc.
