Question

The length of a box as reported by its manufacturer is 13.67 cm. Joe has a ruler which has markings for each millimeter. Which most likely represents the length of the box that Joe is able to measure?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe has a ruler which has markings for each millimeter, so the least measurement which Joe can do is in millimeter.

Since, 10 mm = 1 cm

Therefore, 1 mm = 0.1 cm

This rule states that Joe can measure a length or distance in nearest tenth of a cm only.

If length of a box = 13.67 cm,

So Joe can measure it as 13.7 cm approximately.

Therefore, Option (3) will be the answer.
