Answer:
1. 1 mi; 2. 0.5 kg; 3. 3.5 qt; 4. 0.0045 in
Explanation:
We must make the units of each measurement the same.
1. Kilometres vs. miles
[tex]d =\text{1 km} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mi}}{\text{1.609 km}} = \text{0.6 mi}[/tex]
The larger measurement is 1 mi.
2. Kilograms vs. pounds
[tex]m = \text{0.5 kg} \times \dfrac{\text{2.205 lb }}{\text{1 kg}} = \text{1.1 lb}[/tex]
The larger measurement is 0.5 kg.
3. Quarts vs. litres
[tex]V = \text{2.5 qt} \times \dfrac{\text{1 L }}{\text{1.057 qt}} = \text{2.3 L}[/tex]
The larger measurement is 2.5 qt.
4. Centimetres vs. inches
[tex]d = \text{0.0045 cm} \times \dfrac{\text{1 in }}{\text{2.54 cm}} = \text{0.0018 in}[/tex]
The larger measurement is 0.0045 in.
