What is meant by standardized units and why are
they useful?
Choose the correct answer below.
A.
Standardized units are the units that were once standard but
have since been phased out for more precise definitions of
measurements. They are useful for historical reason, as
knowledge of these older units allows people to translate the
measurements of the past into the units of today.
B.
Standardized units are the units that have been determined by a
monarchy. They allow educated peoples who use them to distinguish
themselves from the common folk who do not.
C.
Standardized units are units that have the same meaning for
everyone who uses them. When using standardized units, people
can communicate measurements and know that they mean the same thing
to both people.
D.
Standardized units are units that are about the same for each
person. For example the length of a person's foot is a foot.
These units are useful because, for example, anyone
with a foot can use their own to get a measurement.
