Question 4 • FL-2003010-M/J Physical Science

Which lists metric units, in order, from smallest to largest?

Answer
A
kilogram, hectogram, decagram
B
decagram, decigram, centigram
C
milligram, centigram, decigram
D
decagram, hectogram, milligram

Explanation

Metric mass units increase from milligram to centigram to decigram: 1 centigram equals 10 milligrams, and 1 decigram equals 10 centigrams. So the units in choice C are ordered from smallest to largest. The other lists either go in descending order or mix units out of order.
