Questions

  1. 1.

    When measuring an attribute such as length or weight using uniform units, how does switching to a smaller unit affect the resulting number of units needed?

    • A) The number of units increases for both attributes because more of a smaller unit are required to equal the same total amount.
    • B) The number of units decreases for both attributes because smaller units represent smaller individual values.
    • C) The number of units increases for length but decreases for weight because weight cannot be divided into discrete pieces.
    • D) The number of units remains unchanged for both attributes because the object itself does not change its length or weight.

    Three parcels, K, L, and M, are compared by their attributes of length and weight. If Parcel K is longer than Parcel L and Parcel L is longer than Parcel M, while Parcel M is heavier than Parcel K and Parcel K is heavier than Parcel L, which statement correctly orders the parcels from longest to shortest and from heaviest to lightest?

    • A) Longest to shortest: K, M, L; Heaviest to lightest: M, L, K
    • B) Longest to shortest: K, L, M; Heaviest to lightest: M, K, L
    • C) Longest to shortest: M, L, K; Heaviest to lightest: K, L, M
    • D) Longest to shortest: L, K, M; Heaviest to lightest: M, K, L
  3. 3.

    Which statement correctly describes how to directly compare the length and the weight of two objects without using standard numerical units?

    • A) Length is directly compared by placing the two objects on opposite sides of a balance, while weight is directly compared by placing them side by side.
    • B) Length and weight are both directly compared by releasing the objects together to see which one reaches the ground first.
    • C) Length is directly compared by holding each object in one hand, while weight is directly compared by matching their starting edges.
    • D) Length is directly compared by aligning their endpoints along a common baseline, while weight is directly compared by placing one object on each pan of an equal-arm balance.

    Two identical blocks of clay initially have the same length and the same weight. One block is rolled out into a long strip while the other block is kept in its original shape. Which statement correctly compares the attributes of the two blocks after this change?

    • A) Both the length and the weight of the rolled block have increased.
    • B) The rolled block is longer, but its weight has decreased.
    • C) The rolled block is longer, but both blocks still have the same weight.
    • D) The rolled block has a greater weight, but both blocks still have the same length.
  5. 5.

    A 30-centimeter plastic ruler and a 5-centimeter solid lead weight are placed on a desk. Which statement correctly compares the length and weight of these two objects?

    • A) The lead weight has a greater length, but the plastic ruler has a greater weight.
    • B) The plastic ruler has both a greater length and a greater weight than the lead weight.
    • C) The plastic ruler has a greater length, but the lead weight has a greater weight.
    • D) The two objects have the same weight because an object's length determines its heaviness.
