Which statement about converting metric units of measurement is true?

franny:

? I NEED MORE TO HELP

jramirez32:

ok the answers would be there are 0.35 hectoliters in 35 deciliters

jramirez32:

next is There are 7.62 centiliters in 762 liters.There are 6.8 kiloliters in 68 hectoliters. There are 0.75 deciliters in 7.5 liters.

franny:

WHAT GRADE IS DIS?

jramirez32:

6th

franny:

OOF IM DUMB

franny:

SORRY THAT I CAN'T HELP

Mercury:

so, just to be clear, these are the possible answer choices? there are 0.35 hectoliters in 35 deciliters There are 7.62 centiliters in 762 liters There are 6.8 kiloliters in 68 hectoliters. There are 0.75 deciliters in 7.5 liters.

Mercury:

from here, you'll need to go through each statement one-by-one and verify if the two quantiites are equal or not. for example, let's start with the first statement: 0.35 hectoliters in 35 deciliters using a metrix prefixes chart, we can understand how big a hectoliter is in relation to a deciliter |dw:1600297324167:dw|

Mercury:

|dw:1600297386805:dw| notice how hecto corresponds to the 10^2 multiplier and deci corresponds to the 10^(-1) multiplier therefore, a hectoliter is 10^(2) / 10^(-1) = 10^3 times as big as a deciliter meaning that 0.35 hectoliters = 0.35 * 10^3 = 350 deciliters (not 35, as the answer choice would suggest) so you would eliminate the first choice, and repeat this process with the other answer choices to see which one is true
