Question

Coach Wood's class is trying determine what factor is most important in the growth of earthworms. Each day, they take the

METRIC length of four different worms in four different soil samples. Today, it is Moore's turn to measure the earthworms. For the
worm above, Moore records a length of 6.0 cm. Explain whether Moore's recording is accurate and why.

A)The earthworm length is shorter than 6.0 cm because the worm is curved.


B)The earthworm length is shorter than 6.0 cm because Moore used the
incorrect units.

C)The earthworm length is longer than 6.0 cm because the worm needs to
be straightened.

D)The earthworm measurement is accurate because Moore subtracted the
beginning and ending points from the ruler.

Answer 1

D) the earthworm measurement is accurate because moore subtracted the beginning and ending points from the ruler

Answer 2

C)The earthworm length is longer than 6.0 cm because the worm needs to

be straightened.

Step-by-step explanation:

The choice is true because the image clearly illustrates that the earthworm is screwed into a part of its body. To make a proper measurement the earthworm must be fully stretched and measured from the head to the extreme tip of the "tail"
