Which metric unit do you use to measure the amount of gas that a car's gas tank holds? Which metric unit would you use to measure the distance to the next town? Explain why you would use these units and not smaller units.​

Respuesta :

AL2006

Capacity of the gas tank . . . Liters

Distance to the next town . . . Kilometers

Smaller units would produce bigger numbers.

It's best to use the units that produce the handiest, most convenient numbers.  That way, it's easier to remember the number, write it down without mistakes, and tell other people about it.

Since the unit we will use to measure the volume of gas tank is litre, because its volume is large so it is very difficult to say or learn such big quantity in small units.
