Answer:

The act of measuring

The law of stars

Explanation:

A suffix is a morpheme added after the stem of a word to form a derivative, i.e. a new word. Here, you were given two examples of suffixes - <em>-ment </em>and <em>- nomy</em>, and their meanings.

The word <em>measurement </em>is derived from the verb <em>to measure</em> (<em>measure + -ment = measurement</em>). Based on the meaning of the suffix <em>-ment</em>, we can conclude that the meaning of the given word is <em>the act of measuring.</em>

The word <em>astronomy </em>is of Greek origin (<em>astronomos </em>- literally translated as <em>the science that studies the laws of the stars</em>). The root of the word (<em>astro</em>) is derived from the Greek <em>aster</em>, which means<em> a star</em>. Based on this and the meaning of the suffix -<em>nomy</em>, we can conclude that the meaning of the word <em>astronomy </em>is <em>the law of stars. </em>

How do you can use Mental Math to compare 7 lb to 120 Oz
Luden [163]
There are 16 oz in one pound. Just mentally multiply 7 by 16. A trick for doing this is multiplying 7 x 10, then adding it to the product of 7 x 6. Together, they'll be the product of 7 x 16. You'll get 70 + 42. Those added together is 112. Then, you can easily see that 120 is bigger than 112. Hope this helps you, and good luck!
