In which case would it be most appropriate to use mm as a unit of measurement? A. length of a paper clip B. width of a football field C. distance from New York City to Los Angeles D. height of a building

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the length of a paperclip because millimeters are small

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Using mm will mean your reading will be very accurate. But also it is necessary to ensure that your reading does not get too large.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

So, the best one will be that in which the reading will neither too large nor too small in mm scale.

i don't mean to sound rude in any way but a question like this is something most anyone should know. Are you just copying all questions from your textbook or test?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i have a cognitive disordar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forget stuff at times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay! I totally understand I'm just making sure you're not trying to cheat on a test or anything

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Clearly, the options B,C and D are of very high order of magnitude in respect of mm scale. But, the length of paper clip when measured in mm will give an accurate and not a too large reading. So, it should be the correct answer. Any doubt ?
