1. Yesinia’s father weighs 210 pounds. Markus said that because the moon’s gravity is one-sixth as strong as on earth, his weight on the moon would be one-sixth as much as on earth.

2. Mr. Aristotle, a substitute teacher, told Emon’s class to “use the beakers with a volume of 500 milliliters.” Did Mr. Aristotle use the word "volume" correctly? Why or why not?

 

3. Make up two different sentences: one with the word "length" and the other with the word "distance." Then swap the two words and see if the sentences still make sense.
