Question

Leah is measuring the weight of adult rhinos at the zoo. Which unit of measurement should she use to eliminate the need to write the values in scientific notation?
grams
feet
gallons
tons

Answer 1

Leah should use **tons** to measure the weight of adult rhinos. Adult rhinos typically weigh several hundred to several thousand kilograms, so using tons eliminates the need to write values in scientific notation and provides a more manageable scale for measurement.
