Answer:
c. kilometers and kilograms
Explanation:
If two units represent different things, like for example grams and joules, where the first one is a unit for mass, and the second one a unit for energy we can not add them together. (
Let's analyze each one of the given options:
a: grams and milligrams
both grams and milligrams are units of mass, so after the appropriate unit conversions, we can add them.
b: miles and kilometers
Both are units for distance, after the appropriate unit conversions, we can add them.
c: kilometers and kilograms
"Kilometer" is a unit for distance, and "kilogram" a unit for mass, we can not add distance and mass, so these two can not be added together.
d: centimeters and yards
Both are units of distance, after the appropriate unit conversions, we can add them.
Then the only one that we can not add together is option c: kilometers and kilograms
Answer: The correct option is C (kilometers and kilograms).
Explanation:
UNITS is the quantity of a constant magnitude which is used to measure the magnitudes of other quantities of the same nature. The magnitude of a physical quantity is expressed as, Physical quantity = (numerical value) × (unit). There are six basic units of measurement which includes:
--> metre (m) - unit of length.
--> kilograms (kg) - unit of mass.
--> second (s) - unit of time.
--> ampere (A) - unit of electrical current.
--> kelvin (K) - unit of temperature and
--> mole (mol) - unit of the amount of substance.
Mass is the quantity of matter present in a body which is constant and is measured in KILOGRAMMES or GRAMS. While position is the distance and direction of an object from a particular reference point which is known to vary and is measured in METERS OR KILOMETRES.
From the above definition, KILOGRAMMES is used to measure the magnitude of a different quantity from KILOMETERS and therefore should not be added up after conversation.
