OpenStudy (freckles):

is this 5-story building for humans or for hobbits?

OpenStudy (freckles):

also do you think cm is a big unit or a small unit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for people

OpenStudy (freckles):

lol hint: mm is smaller than cm and cm isn't very big

OpenStudy (freckles):

Like do you remember seeing cm on a 12ft ruler?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just want to know the answer

OpenStudy (freckles):

12ft is not very big so 16cm is not very big and 16mm is definitely smaller than a foot also

OpenStudy (freckles):

which units sound most useful in this situation when I think of 1 meter I think of the height of height of a coke can. (It could be just a big bigger in length) But pretend we stack 16 coke cans on top of each other do you think that is a good model of a 5 story building?
