To answer the question regarding the hypothetical standard for 1 meter as a fraction of the distance between the equator and the North Pole, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Distance**: The distance from the equator to the North Pole is approximately one-quarter of the Earth's circumference. The Earth's circumference is about 40,075 kilometers. 2. **Calculating the Distance**: - The distance from the equator to the North Pole can be calculated as: ...
