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.

Is this proportion true 12/15=47/50<br>16/36=12/27<br>15/20=24/26<br>or 4/16=2/14
jekas [21]
For <span>12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.

For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!

I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!</span>
