Hello!

1. Which of the following is the largest distance?

Lets go through the choices first.

  1. A centimeter is equal to 1/100 of a meter, and is a metric unit of length.
  2. A millimeter is 1/1000 of a meter, 10 millimeters is 1 centimeters, so a millimeter is incorrect.
  3. A decimeter is equal to 1/10 of a meter, so therefore, it is greater than the centimeter and millimeter.
  4. A kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, so therefore, it is the largest distance.

2. What is a metric base unit?

From the explanation above, I used meters as a metric base unit. The word "meter" is in each metric unit, so therefore, the answer is D, the standard unit that is used for each type of measurement.

Final answers:

  1. Choice D, kilometer
  2. Choice D, the standard unit that is used for each type of measurement
