The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "A bigger unit is contained ………………….. of times in the quantity," we need to understand the relationship between different units of measurement. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Units**: - Let's denote the bigger unit as "B" and the smaller unit as "S". - For example, if we are measuring length, the bigger unit could be meters (m) and the smaller unit could be centimeters (cm). 2. **Understand the Conversion**: - We need to know how many smaller units fit into one bigger unit. This is typically done using a conversion factor. - For instance, 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. 3. **Calculate the Number of Times**: - To find out how many times the bigger unit is contained in the quantity, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Number of times} = \frac{\text{Quantity in smaller units}}{\text{Size of one bigger unit in smaller units}} \] - Using our example, if we have 200 centimeters, we can find out how many meters that is: \[ \text{Number of times} = \frac{200 \text{ cm}}{100 \text{ cm/m}} = 2 \text{ m} \] 4. **Formulate the Answer**: - Therefore, we can conclude that the bigger unit (B) contains a certain number of times (N) in the quantity of the smaller unit (S). - In our example, we would say that 1 meter is contained 100 times in 100 meters. 5. **Final Answer**: - The answer to the question is that a bigger unit is contained "N" times in the quantity, where "N" is the number of smaller units that fit into the bigger unit.

The process of measurement is basically a process of comparison. The chosen standard of measurement of a quantity, which has essentially the same nature as that of the quantity is called unit of the quantity. Magnitude of a quantity (Q) = size of its unit (u)xx number of times (n) this unit is contained in the quantity. i.e. Q = nu As magnitude of a quantity remains the same, whatever be its units of measurement, therefore, Q = n_1u_1 = n_2 u_2 Read the above passage and answer the following questions : (i) The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m//s^2 How do you express it in km//hr^2 ?
