answers

Answer 1

Both options 1 and 3 would be suitable experiments for testing the distance the toy car will travel down the ramp. However, option 3, which involves measuring the distances in many repeated trials, would provide a more accurate average distance. Therefore, the best response is:

an experiment that measures the distances that his toy car travels in many repeated trials
