Answer:

0.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Ounces are typically used to measure liquid, so I would discourage choosing the top two. And, hopefully you know by now that an orange does not weigh 8 pounds.

Answer:

(a) 0.8 ounces (most precision)

(b) 8 ounces (best precision for likely weight of an orange)

Step-by-step explanation:

The most precision is obtained by using the smallest unit of measure. On this list, the smallest unit of measure is a tenth of an ounce. That is, the measure 0.8 ounces has the most precision.

It is unlikely that the weight of one orange will be 0.8 ounces. The smallest unit used in a measurement likely to correspond to the weight of an orange is 1 ounce, used in the measurement 8 ounces. That measurement has better precision than 0.8 pounds, because 0.1 pounds corresponds to 1.6 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

One should first find the circumference of the given circle. Then one should find how large the fraction of the circumference one is supposed to find is. Finally, one should multiply the fraction of the circumference one is supposed to find by the total circumference.

2. Circumference of the circle

The formula for circumference is;

$2r$ π

Substitute in the given values;

It is given that the radius is, hence

2 (7) π

14π

3. Find the fraction of the circumference one is supposed to find

It is given that the angles over the measure of the total degrees of angles in a circle are equal to the arc surrounding the angles of the circumference. Essentially;

$\frac{angles}{360}=\frac{arc}{circumference}$
