Question 1

Look at the scale. Which box is heavier?

  1. the big box
  2. the small box (correct answer)

Question 2

Jake has two books on his desk. Book A is thicker than Book B, but Book B is longer and wider than Book A. His teacher asks him to name different ways the books can be measured. What is the BEST list of measurable attributes for both books?

  1. How interesting they are, what grade level they're written for, and how many students like them
  2. What subject they teach, what language they're written in, and what color the covers are
  3. How long, how wide, how thick, and how heavy each book is compared to the other (correct answer)
  4. Where they were printed, when they were published, and who wrote them originally
Explanation: Choice C is correct because length, width, thickness, and weight are all measurable attributes that can be quantified with numbers and units for physical comparison. Choice A is wrong because interest level, grade level, and student preferences are not measurable attributes of the physical books. Choice B is wrong because subject, language, and color are not measurable attributes in the mathematical sense. Choice D is wrong because location, publication date, and authorship are not measurable physical attributes.
