When you describe a quantity with more than one familiar unit (such as kilometers or millimeters for a length), how can you deci

de which is a more appropriate unit to use? While it is not incorrect to use the less appropriate unit, why do you want to avoid using it anyway?

You can decide by seeing which one measures object better. you want to avoid using the incorrect unit because it can meaure it wrong or it won't be as accurate as the right unit

Answer:

When we use smaller units to describe something bigger, it becomes lengthy and confusing to calculate.

Like, if we want to tell the weight of a truck, it is better to use tons rather than grams.

Because 1 ton has 907185 grams approx. So, you can see the calculation becomes long, if we want to convert 5 tons to grams and it will be difficult to say that a truck weighs 4.536e+6 grams.

This is why we avoid using smaller units for larger things.

how do you find the volume to the nearest cubic in of a cone whose radius is 12 in and hieght is 15 inches
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
You have to know the formula for the volume of a cone.
In high school, there's no other way.

Volume of a cone = (1 / 3) π (radius)² (height)

Volume = (1 / 3) π (12 inches)² (15 inches)

Volume = 720 π = 2,261.95 cubic inches

Rounded to the nearest cubic inch, that's<u> 2,262 cubic inches</u>.

$1.75

If 4 lemons altogether cost $7, you want to divide the price by 4 to find the price for one single lemon.

7/4 = $1.75

Now if you buy 4 lemons that cost $1.75, your total will add up to $7
