Question

Group of answer choices

Milligram

Ounce

Gram

Kilogram

Answer 1

For measuring the mass of a shoe, piece of paper, book, and tissue, the most appropriate unit of measurement would be Gram.

• Milligram is typically used for very small weights (like medicine).
• Ounce is often used in cooking and for lighter objects but is less common in scientific contexts.
• Kilogram is suitable for heavier objects, like a shoe or a book, but might be too large for lighter items like paper and tissue.

Therefore, grams provide a good balance for all the items in question.
