A pile of 15 boxes is 3 metres high. What is the depth of each box? 5 m
0.002 km
200 cm
200 mm

ANSWER:

200 millimetre

Work Shown:

1 meter = 100 cm

3 meters = 300 cm (multiply both sides by 3)

15 boxes are 300 cm tall combined, so 300/15 = 20 cm is the height of each box.

Unfortunately 20 cm isn't listed as an answer choice, but we can convert to km and see what happens

20 cm * (1 m/100 cm)*(1 km/1000 m) = 20/(100*1000) = 0.0002 km

It's close, but off by a digit. Choice B has two zeros while 0.0002 has three zeros between the decimal point and the '2'.

Let's convert to mm and see what happens

20 cm * (10 mm/1 cm) = 200 mm

Through trial and error, we arrived at the final answer.

12.4, 12.387, 12.26, 12.252, 6.241, 6.2, 6.015, 6.009, 1.411, 1.2, 1.056, 1.007, 0.31,   0.13, 0.5, 0.04
