Question

The distance between the baseball stadium and the airport is 1.6×10^6 centimeters.Which unit of measurement is most appropriate to measure this distance?

Answer 1

Answer:

'Kilometers' is the most appropriate unit to measure this distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the baseball stadium and the airport is  $1.6\times 10^6$ centimeters.

$(1.6\times 10^6)cm = (16\times 10^5)cm$

Now,  10⁵ centimeters is equal to 1 kilometer.

That means,  $(16\times 10^5)cm = (16\times 1)km= 16 km$

So, 'Kilometers' is the most appropriate unit to measure this distance.
