Question

Which shows a correct comparison? A: 5 milliliters > 50 liters B: 2 liters < 200 milliliters C: 100 liters < 1,000 milliliteres D: 3,200 milliliters > 3 liters

Answer 1

d

Explanation:

Note that

> means greater than

< means less than

for example : 2 < 3 means 2 is less than 3

3 >2 means 3 is greater than 2

To determine which comparison is better we have to convert litre to millimetre

1 litre = 1000mm

A 5 mm > (50 x 1000)

5 mm > 50,000

5 is not greater than 50,000

B. (2 x 1000) < 200 mm

2000 < 200

2000 is not less than 200

C. (100 x 1000) < 1,000

100,000 < 1000

100,000 is not less than 1000

D. 3200 > (3 X 1000)

3200 > 3000

3200 is greater than 3000
