Matsu wants to measure the dimensions of her vegetable garden. Which unit of measurement should she use to eliminate the need to write the values in scientific notation?

A garden is much larger than an object measured in inches, so its dimensions would have large numerical values in inches. Measuring in feet gives smaller, more convenient numbers and avoids needing scientific notation. Cups measure volume, and tons measure weight, so neither is suitable for garden dimensions.
